…Σίκιμος. Ἔριμον πόλις Οἰνωτρῶν ἐν μεσογείῳ, ὡς Ἑκαταῖος. Ὑλλάριμα πολίχνιον Καρίας ὕπερθε Στρατονικείας. Γόραμα χώρα τῶν Σκηνιτῶν Ἀράβων. Σόδομα μητρόπολις ἦν τῶν δέκα πόλεων τῶν ἐπὶ τῇ Ἀσφαλτίτιδι λίμνῃ καταστραφεισῶν. Σίδυμα πόλις Λυκίας, ἧς Ἀλέξανδρος μέμνηται ἐν πρώτῳ Λυκιακῶν. ἐκλήθη δὲ ἀπὸ Σιδύμου. Λώρυμα πόλις Καρίας. Ἑκαταῖος Ἀσίᾳ. ἔστι καὶ λιμὴν Ῥόδου, ὃς Λώρυμα λέγεται. Ἱεροσόλυμα ἡ μητρόπολις τῆς Ἰουδαίας, ἣ Σόλυμα ἐκαλεῖτο ἀπὸ τῶν Σολύμων ὀρῶν. Δίδυμα τόπος καὶ μαντεῖον Μιλήτου ἀφιερώμενον Διῒ καὶ Ἀπόλλωνι.…
