The argument is a little broader and more interesting than that: as I recall, it's evidence that everything Ovid notes about the Black Sea was available to him in Rome and didn't require exile to discover. But as to a summary of Gareth's thinking as a Ph.D. student, you'd just have to ask Gareth.
Cheers,
John
