Ab iis (sc. A Prasiis sive Palibothris) in interiore situ Monedes et Suari, quorum mons Maleus, in quo umbroe ad septemtrionem cadunt liieme, oestate in austrum, per senos menses. Septemtriones eo tractu semel in anno apparere, nec nisi quindecim diebus, Boeton (fr. 4) auctor est: hoc idem pluribus locis Indiae fieri, Megasthenes.

With Megasthenes the breadth of India is its extent from east to west, though this is called by others its length. His account is that the breadth at shortest is 16,000 stadia, and its length—by which he means its extent from north to south—is at the narrowest 22,300 stadia.
