Scholia on Book 1 of Apollonius' Argonautica 4.257-62b.b4-cl0092

b. ἔστι γὰρ πλόος ἄλλος: Ἡρόδωρος ἐν τοῖς Ἀργοναύταις (31 fg 10 J.) φησὶ διὰ τῆς αὐτῆς 〈κατ〉ελθεῖν θαλάσσης, δι’ ἧς ἦλθον εἰς Κόλχους. Ἑκαταῖος δὲ ὁ Μιλήσιος (1 fg 18 a J.) ἐκ τοῦ Φάσιδος διελθεῖν εἰς τὸν ὠκεανόν, εἶτα ἐκεῖθεν εἰς τὸν Νεῖλον, ὅθεν εἰς τὴν ἡμετέραν θάλασσαν. τοῦτο δὲ ὁ Ἐφέσιος Ἀρτεμίδωρος (fg 136 Stiehle Phil. 11, 1856, 236) ψεῦδός φησιν εἶναι· τὸν γὰρ Φάσιν μὴ συμβάλλειν τῷ ὠκεανῷ, ἀλλ’ ἐξ ὀρέων καταφέρεσθαι. τὸ αὐτὸ καὶ Ἐρατοσθένης ἐν γ' Γεωγραφικῶν (fg III B 74 Berger) φησι. Τιμάγητος δὲ ἐν α' Περὶ λιμένων (fg 1 M. IV 519) τὸν μὲν Φᾶσιν 〈καταφέρεσθαι . . ., τὸν δὲ Ἴστρον〉 καταφέρεσθαι ἐκ τῶν †Κελτικῶν† ὀρῶν, ἅ ἐστι τῆς Κελτικῆς, εἶτα ἐκδιδόναι εἰς Κελτῶν λίμνην, μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα εἰς δύο σχίζεσθαι τὸ ὕδωρ, καὶ τὸ μὲν εἰς τὸν Εὔξεινον πόντον εἰσβάλλειν, τὸ δὲ εἰς τὴν †Κελτικήν† θάλασσαν· διὰ δὲ τούτου τοῦ στόματος πλεῦσαι τοὺς Ἀργοναύτας καὶ ἐλθεῖν εἰς Τυρρηνίαν. κατακολουθεῖ δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ Ἀπολλώνιος. Ἡσίοδος (fg 64 Rz.²) δὲ καὶ Πίνδαρος ἐν Πυθιονίκαις

b. For there is another voyage: Herodorus in his Argonautica (31 fr. 10 J.) says that they came down through the same sea by which they went to Colchis. Hecataeus of Miletus (1 fr. 18a J.) says that they passed from the Phasis into the ocean, then from there into the Nile, and from there into our sea. Artemidorus of Ephesus (fr. 136 Stiehle Phil. 11, 1856, 236) says this is false; for the Phasis does not join the ocean, but flows down from mountains. Eratosthenes in the third book of his Geography (fr. III B 74 Berger) says the same. Timagetus in the first book of On Harbours (fr. 1 M. IV 519) says that the Phasis flows down from the †Celtic† mountains, which are in Celtica, then empties into the Celtic lake, and after this the water divides into two, and one part flows into the Euxine Sea, the other into the †Celtic† sea; and through this mouth the Argonauts sailed and came to Tyrrhenia. Apollonius follows him. Hesiod (fr. 64 Rz.²) and Pindar in his Pythian odes
