6.3
Here we may observe the negligence of the author, whether Hedylus, or whoever he was, of the elegiac lines which begin, We hinds, sacred to Phoebus, hither came in our swift course; we traversed the broad sea, to avoid the arrows of our pursuers. He says, that the hinds ran down from the Corycian heights, and swam across from the Cilician coast to the beach near Curias, and adds, That it was a cause of vast surprise to men to think how we scoured the trackless waves, aided by the vernal Zephyrs. For it is possible (by doubling the cape) to sail round from Corycus to the beach of Curias, but not with the assistance of the west wind, nor by keeping the island on the right, but on the left hand; and there is no (direct) passage across.
