And thou shalt reach the Skythian nomads, those[[176]]

Who on smooth-rolling waggons dwell aloft

In wicker houses, with far-darting bows

730

Duly equipped. Approach thou not to these,

But trending round the coasts on which the surf

Beats with loud murmurs,[[177]] traverse thou that clime.

On the left hand there dwell the Chalybes,[[178]]

Who work in iron. Of these do thou beware,

For fierce are they and most inhospitable;
