[16] Νίσυρος δὲ πρὸς ἄρκτον μέν ἐστι Τήλου διέχουσα αὐτῆς ὅσον ἑξήκοντα σταδίους ὅσους καὶ Κῶ διέχει, στρογγύλη δὲ καὶ ὑψηλὴ καὶ πετρώδης τοῦ μυλίου λίθου: τοῖς γοῦν ἀστυγείτοσιν ἐκεῖθέν ἐστιν ἡ τῶν μύλων εὐπορία. ἔχει δὲ καὶ πόλιν ὁμώνυμον καὶ λιμένα καὶ θερμὰ καὶ Ποσειδῶνος ἱερόν: περίμετρον δὲ αὐτῆς ὀγδοήκοντα στάδιοι. ἔστι δὲ καὶ νησία πρὸς αὐτῇ Νισυρίων λεγόμενα. φασὶ δὲ τὴν Νίσυρον ἀπόθραυσμα εἶναι τῆς Κῶ, προσθέντες καὶ μῦθον, ὅτι Ποσειδῶν διώκων ἕνα τῶν γιγάντων Πολυβώτην ἀποθραύσας τῇ τριαίνῃ τρύφος τῆς Κῶ ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν βάλοι, καὶ γένοιτο νῆσος τὸ βληθὲν ἡ Νίσυρος ὑποκείμενον ἔχουσα ἐν αὐτῇ τὸν γίγαντα: τινὲς δὲ αὐτὸν ὑποκεῖσθαι τῇ Κῷ φασιν.
