Greek fragment of text: (about 700)
-----------------------------------------
The unknown author states he only relates what he has seen with his own eyes.
Eight streams, five of which are named, descend from the Mountains of the Moon and form two lakes, viz. of the Cataracts and of the Crocodiles. From these lakes issue rivers which, flowing round the lands of the Pygmies and of Cinnamon, unite to form the Great River, which then enters the country of Habeshy.
