"....an island comprising mostly mountains in the northern portions and along the shore, and encompassing a great plain of an oblong shape in the south extending in one direction three thousand stadia [about 555 km2], but across the center inland it was two thousand stadia [about 370 km2]. Fifty stadia [about 9 km] from the coast was a mountain that was low on all sides...broke it off all round about... the central island itself was five stades in diameter [about 0.92 km].”
