[64] Beyond these lands of both Scythias,¹ towards the east, the summits of lofty walls² form a circle and enclose the Seres,³ remarkable for the richness and extent of their country. On the west they are bounded by the Scythians, and on the north and the east they extend to a snowclad waste; on the south they reach India and the Ganges. There are mountains there, called Anniba, Nazavicium, Asmira, Emodon, and Opurocorra.
