Ἀραβία, ἡ χώρα, ὡς Αἰθιοπία. δύο δ´ εἰσίν, ἡ μὲν ἀρωματοφόρος μεταξὺ Περσικῆς καὶ Ἀραβικῆς θαλάσσης, ἡ δὲ μᾶλλον δυτικὴ συνάπτουσα πρὸς μὲν τὴν δύσιν Αἰγύπτῳ πρὸς ἄρκτον δὲ Συρίᾳ. περὶ ἧς ὁ περιηγητὴς Διονύσιός φησι τῆς δ´ ἂν ἴδοις προτέρω νοτιώτερον οἶμον ὁδεύων Ἀραβίου κόλπου μύχατον ῥόον, ὅστε μεσηγύ εἰλεῖται Συρίης τε καὶ Ἀραβίης ἐρατεινῆς. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Ἀράβιος, ὡς ἡ παροιμία “Ἀράβιος αὐλητής”, ἣν ἔταττον ἐπὶ τῶν ἀπαύστως διαλεγομένων, ἢ διὰ τὸ μηδένα Ἑλλήνων διασκευάσασθαι τὴν αὐλητικὴν ὡς οὖσαν βάναυσον καὶ παντελῶς ἀνελεύθερον, ἀλλὰ βαρβάροις αὐληταῖς χρῆσθαι. διὸ καὶ ὁ Ἀράβιος αὐλητής, ὃς “δραχμῆς μὲν ηὔλει τεττάρων δ´ ἐπαύετο”. τὸ ἐθνικὸν [Ἀράβιος] καὶ Ἄραβος καὶ Ἀράβισσα.
