Namque perpetua vallis iacet usque ad mare Caspium patens, quo terrae eius velut brachia excurrunt; media flexu modico sinum faciunt lunae maxime similem, cum eminent cornua, nondum  totum orbem sidere implente.
For there is a continuous valley extending as far as the Caspian Sea, to which arms, so to speak, of that land jut forth; these, bending slightly in the middle, form a curve very like the moon with its horns standing out when that heavenly  body does not yet fill out its complete orb.
