As the mountains ‘separate’ the ‘bald’ men from the unknown region, and as they lie to the north of both the ‘bald’ and the Issedones, who are further east (§ 2), the mountains are conceived as running east and west (cf. 21. 1 n). Rawlinson wrongly puts the ‘mountains’ between the ‘bald’ and the Issedones.
