The Cleides are two small islands lying in front of Cyprus on the eastern side, at the distance of 700 stadia from the Pyramus.Dschehan-Tschai.
6.2
The Acamas is a promontory with two paps, and upon it is a large forest. It is situated at the western part of the island, but extends towards the north, approaching very near Selinus in Cilicia Tracheia, for the passage across is only 1000 stadia; to Side in Pamphylia the passage is 1600 stadia, and to the Chelidoniae (islands) 1900 stadia.
6.2
The figure of the whole island is oblong, and in some places on the sides, which define its breadth, there are isthmuses.
6.2
We shall describe the several parts of the island briefly, beginning from the point nearest to the continent.
6.3
We have said before, that opposite to Anemyrium, a promontory of Cilicia Tracheia, is the extremity of Cyprus, namely, the promontory of Crommyon,Kormakiti. at the distance of 350 stadia.
6.3
From the cape, keeping the island on the right hand, and the continent on the left, the voyage to the Cleides in a straight line towards north and east is a distance of 700 stadia.
