Res Gestae

Then, a long distance away, is a peninsula inhabited by the Sindi, people of low birth, who after the disaster to their masters in Asia[*](By a servile war; see Justin, ii. 5, 1-8.) got possession of their wives and property. Next to these is a narrow strip of shore which the natives call ʼἀχιλλέως δρόμος, memorable in times past for the exercises of the Thessalian leader.[*](The racecourse of Achilles.) And next to it is the city Tyros, a colony of the Phoenicians, washed by the river Tyras.[*](See Mela, ii. 1, 55; Pliny, N.H. iv. 83.)
