[2692] Strabo’s word is Ὕπανις. Gossellin observes that we should look for the Ὕπανις to the east of the Dnieper, while the Bog lies to the west of that river.
[2693] Gossellin identifies this island with the modern Berezan.
[2694] Now the Dnieper.
[2695] Olbia, or Olbiopolis, would, according to this measure, be about the junction of the Bog and Dnieper.
[2696] Mannert has attempted to read Γεωργοί, because Herodotus, book iv. chap. 18, has so termed those Scythians who cultivated their fields. Is it not possible that the Latin Regii was the word Strabo had in his mind?
[2697] Piczina.
[2698] Some MSS. read this name Ῥωξανοί, others Ῥοξανοί, and others Ῥωξοανοί, but whether there is any distinction to be drawn between these and the Ῥωξαλανοί of book ii. chap. v. § 7, is not to be ascertained.
[2699] The Tanais.
[2700] The Sea of Zabache.
[2701] The Borysthenes.
