Strabo Geography 7.4.2

[2] As one sails out of the gulf, one comes, on the left, to a small city and another harbor ¹ belonging to the Chersonesites. For next in order as one sails along the coast is a great cape which projects towards the south and is a part of the Chersonesus as a whole; ² and on this cape is situated a city of the Heracleotae, a colony of the Heracleotae who live on the Pontus, ³ and this place itself ⁴ is called Chersonesus, ⁵ being distant as one sails along the coast ⁶ four thousand four hundred stadia from the Tyras. In this city is the temple of the Parthenos, a certain deity; ⁷ and the cape ⁸ which is in front of the city, at a distance of one hundred stadia, is also named after this deity, for it is called the Parthenium, and it has a shrine and xoanon ⁹ of her. Between the city and the cape are three harbors. Then comes the Old Chersonesus, which has been razed to the ground; and after it comes a narrow-mouthed harbor, where, generally speaking, the Tauri, a Scythian tribe, used to assemble their bands of pirates in order to attack all who fled thither for refuge. It is called Symbolon Limen. ¹⁰ This harbor forms with another harbor called Ctenus Limen ¹¹ an isthmus forty stadia in width; and this is the isthmus that encloses the Little Chersonesus, which, as I was saying, is a part of the Great Chersonesus and has on it the city of Chersonesus, which bears the same name as the peninsula.
