Geography 15.1.69

τῶν τε μυρμήκων τινὰς καὶ πτερωτοὺς λέγουσι τῶν χρυσωρύχων: ψήγματά τε χρυσοῦ καταφέρειν τοὺς ποταμούς, καθάπερ τοὺς Ἰβηρικούς: ἐν δὲ ταῖς κατὰ τὰς ἑορτὰς πομπαῖς πολλοὶ μὲν ἐλέφαντες πέμπονται χρυσῷ κεκοσμημένοι καὶ ἀργύρῳ, πολλὰ δὲ τέθριππα καὶ βοϊκὰ ζεύγη: εἶθ᾽ ἡ στρατιὰ κεκοσμημένη: καὶ χρυσώματα δὲ τῶν μεγάλων λεβήτων καὶ κρατήρων ὀργυιαίων: καὶ τοῦ Ἰνδικοῦ χαλκοῦ τράπεζαί τε καὶ θρόνοι καὶ ἐκπώματα καὶ λουτῆρες, λιθοκόλλητα τὰ πλεῖστα σμαράγδοις καὶ βηρύλλοις καὶ ἄνθραξιν Ἰνδικοῖς: καὶ ἐσθὴς δὲ ποικίλη χρυσόπαστος, καὶ βόνασοι καὶ παρδάλεις καὶ λέοντες τιθασοὶ καὶ τῶν ποικίλων ὀρνέων καὶ εὐφθόγγων πλῆθος.
