ἀπαρκτίαν τοὺς ὑπὲρ Θρᾴκην Σκύθας, κατὰ δὲ βορρᾶν Πόντον, Μαιῶτιν, Σαρμάτας·
κατὰ καικίαν Κασπίαν θάλασσαν καὶ Σάκας.

The winds that blow are: from the equidiurnal (i.e. equinoctial) rising (of the sun; i.e. due
east) Apeliotes; from the equidiurnal setting (due west) Zephyros; from the midday (due
south) Notos; and from the bear (due north) Aparktias.
30 From the
summer turning-point (solstice; approx. NE) Kaikias; next, from the equidiurnal rising
Apeliotes (as above); and from the winter one (approx. SE) Euros. The westerly winds:
from the winter setting (approx. SW) Lips; from the equidiurnal setting Zephyros again; and
from the summer setting (approx. NW) Argestes or Olympias, also known as Iapyx. Next
Notos and Aparktias, blowing against one another. Thus there are eight.
