Note 125 — Chapter III · CONTINUATION OF THE JOURNEY FROM KÓNIA.
Reading edition
By the description of Mr. Kinneir it appears that Argæus is not less than 8 or 9000 feet above the sea; for it was covered with snow to a great distance below the summit in October: Strabo’s expression, therefore, of ὅρος πάντων ὑψηλότατος may, perhaps, apply to it with truth, if we confine his observation to the countries between the Caucasus and the Alps.
