of the rest however the Borysthenes is the most serviceable, seeing that it provides both pastures which are the fairest and the richest for cattle, and fish which are better by far and more numerous than those of any other river, and also it is the sweetest water to drink, and flows with clear stream, though others beside it are turbid, and along its banks crops are produced better than elsewhere, while in parts where it is not sown, grass grows deeper.
baina gainerakoetan aberatsena Borysthenes da, honek larre guztiz bikain eta zainduak baititu abereentzat, baita denetan arrainik hoberen eta ugarienak ere; guztiz atsegina da edateko, eta arreak datozen korronteen ondoan garbi doa bera; honen inguruan guztiz emankor bilakatzen da ereintza, eta ereiten ez den lurraldean belar guztiz mardula sortzen da. Ibai honen ahoan neurtu ezin ahala gatz kristaltzen da berez.
