[1] From Stiris to Ambrossos is about six stadium-lengths. The road is flat, lying on the level with mountains on both sides of it. The greater part of the plain is covered with vines, and in the territory of Ambrossos grow shrubs, though not close together like the vines. This shrub the Ionians, as well as the rest of the Greeks, call kokkos, and the Gauls above Phrygia call it in their native speech hys. This kokkos grows to the size of what is called the rhamnos; the leaves are darker and softer than those of the mastich tree, though in other respects the two are alike.

ἐς δὲ Ἄμβροσσον στάδιοι περὶ ἑξήκοντά εἰσιν ἐκ Στίρεως· πεδιὰς ἡ ὁδός, ὀρῶν ἐν μέσῳ πεδίον κείμενον. ἄμπελοι δὲ τὸ πολύ εἰσι τοῦ πεδίου, καὶ ἐν γῇ τῇ Ἀμβροσσέων οὐ συνεχεῖς μὲν ὥσπερ αἱ ἄμπελοι, πεφύκασι μέντοι καὶ αἱ θάμνοι· τὴν δὲ θάμνον ταύτην Ἴωνες μὲν καὶ τὸ ἄλλο Ἑλληνικὸν κόκκον, Γαλάται δὲ οἱ ὑπὲρ Φρυγίας φωνῇ τῇ ἐπιχωρίῳ σφίσιν ὀνομάζουσιν ὗς. γίνεται δὲ αὕτη μέγεθος μὲν ἡ κόκκος κατὰ τὴν ῥάμνον καλουμένην, φύλλα δὲ μελάντερα μὲν καὶ μαλακώτερα ἢ ἡ σχῖνος, τὰ μέντοι ἄλλα ἐοικότα ἔχει τῇ σχίνῳ.
