The Straits of Hormuz (from the "Periplus", a Ptolemaic navigation guide).\n\nAt the upper end of these Calaei islands is a range of mountains called Calon, and there follows not far beyond, the mouth of the Persian Gulf, where there is much diving for the pearl-mussel. To the left of the straits are great mountains called Asabon, and to the right there rises in full view another round and high mountain called Semiramis; between them the passage across the strait is about six hundred stadia; beyond which that very great and broad sea, the Persian Gulf, reaches far into the interior.
{uniqueroad3_roman_desc_short}
The strait connecting the Persian Gulf with the Indian Ocean.
Since several eamples of periploi have survived I would prefere to use the full name Periplus Maris Erythraei, and it's commonly dated to the first century AD not Ptolemaic times.
