Second paragraph sure reads like a quote of an ancient author

edit

The entire second paragraph (starting "The straits at Deirê are contracted to the width of 60 stadia") sure reads like it's a quote of some ancient author, but there's no indication of who that author is, nor anything explicitly saying it's a quote. I don't know where it's from, so I'm not going to update it to include that stuff, but I figured I should at least update the talk page to point it out in the hopes that maybe someone knowledgeable will eventually notice, and fix it. -Rwv37 (talk) 18:39, 24 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
