§ i Errors and inconsistencies abound, both in surviving versions of the Greek text and my transcriptions/translations. Most places outside the Mediterranean are untagged, and others are tagged wrongly or mislocated. Books I and VIII, the theoretical parts, are mostly omitted, likewise southeast Africa (Book IV, chapter 8). Degrees of longitude are measured not from Greenwich but from somewhere further west.
§ 1.1.1 Geography is an imitation through drawing of the whole occupied part of the earth together with the things generally connected with it. And it differs from chorography, inasmuch as the latter, cutting off the particular places, sets each one out separately and by itself, describing together nearly all even the smallest of the things encompassed within them, such as harbors and villages and districts and the turnings away from the principal rivers and similar things. But it is the distinctive property of geography to show the known earth as one and continuous, as it stands in its nature and position, going only as far as the things connected with it in whole and more comprehensive outlines, such as gulfs and great cities and both nations and the more noteworthy rivers and the more remarkable things of each kind.
§ 1.7.1 Correction of the distance of the breadth of the known earth according to Marinos, from the phenomena.
On the matter of breadth, then, first he himself also supposes the island of Thule to be under the parallel that bounds the northernmost limit of the earth known to us, and he demonstrates this parallel to be distant from the equator as nearly as possible 63 degrees, of such kind as the meridian circle is 360, and 31,500 stades, as one degree contains approximately 500 stades.
§ 1.7.2 Then, setting out the land of the Ethiopians called Agisymba and Cape Prasum as being under the parallel that bounds the southernmost limit of the known earth, he places this under the winter tropic, so that the whole breadth of the inhabited world, the intervening distance between the equator and the winter tropic being added, is reckoned according to him to be approximately 87 degrees, and 43,500 stades.
§ 1.7.3 He also attempts to show the reasonableness of the southern limit both through certain phenomena, as he himself thinks, and through the recorded journeys both by land and by sea; each of which must be examined in passing.
§ 1.7.4 Concerning the phenomena, then, he says in the third treatise word for word as follows: "For in the torrid zone the whole zodiac passes above it; wherefore within it the shadows shift, and all the stars set and rise; but the Little Bear alone begins to appear wholly above the earth at 500 stades north of Ocelis. For the parallel through Ocelis is elevated 11 and two-fifths degrees. And it is handed down by Hipparchus that the southernmost star of the Little Bear, the last star of the tail, is distant from the pole 12 and two-fifths degrees. And for those advancing from the equator toward the summer tropic, the north pole is always raised above the horizon, while the south pole comes to be below the horizon; but for those traveling from the equator toward the winter tropic, the south pole is raised above the horizon, while the north pole comes to be below the horizon."
§ 1.7.5 Through these things, then, he sets out only the very things that ought to occur in the places under the equator or in the places between the tropics; but whether there has also in reality been any account of the phenomena south of the equator, he does not present, such as the occurrence somewhere of stars of those south of the equator being at the zenith, or the midday shadows at the equinoxes inclining toward the south, or all the stars of the Little Bear rising or setting, or again some of them not appearing at all, the south pole coming to be above the horizon.
§ 1.7.6 Through what follows he does indeed adduce certain observed phenomena, but ones not at all capable of demonstrating the matter at hand. For he says: "that also those sailing from India to Limyrike, as Diodorus of Samos says in the third book, have Taurus culminating and the Pleiades at the middle of the yardarm; and those putting out to sea toward Azania from Arabia steer their course toward the south and toward the star Canopus, which there is called Horse and is the southernmost. And stars appear among them which among us are not even named, and the Dog rising before Procyon and Orion whole before the summer solstice."
§ 1.7.7 Of these phenomena, then, some clearly indicate habitations north of the equator, such as Taurus and the Pleiades coming to be at the zenith, for these stars too are north of the equator; but others indicate the southern habitations no more than the northern ones.
§ 1.7.8 For Canopus is able to appear even to those considerably north of the summer tropic, and many of the stars always below the earth for us are able to come to be above the earth in places south of us but still north of the equator, such as those around Meroe, just as Canopus itself appears there while not appearing to those north of us; and yet of this one even those more to the south give the name, "the Horse," but of no other of those unknown to us.
§ 1.7.9 He himself also adds that "he has learned through mathematical arguments that Orion appears whole before the summer solstice among those dwelling under the equator, and the Dog begins to rise before Procyon among those dwelling under the equator, and from them as far as Syene;" so that not even any of these phenomena is peculiar to habitations south of the equator.
§ 1.8.1 The same correction from the distances according to the journeys.
Concerning the distances, reckoning up on the one hand the individual days of the journeys by land from Leptis Magna as far as the land of Agisymba, he concludes that this is south of the equator by 24,680 stades, and on the other hand from the sea voyage again through the days of the sailing from Ptolemais in the Troglodytic region to Cape Prasum, he concludes that this too is south of the equator by 27,800 stades, so as to place Cape Prasum and the land of Agisymba, which belongs to the Ethiopians and, as he himself says, does not even bound Ethiopia from the south, in the temperate zone of the counter-inhabited world;
§ 1.8.2 for the 27,800 stades make on the meridian 55 and three-fifths degrees, as many as the Scythians and Sarmatians who inhabit the regions north of the Maeotic lake are distant on the other side of the equator and according to the similar climate.
§ 1.8.3 He himself, then, also reduces the stated measurement of stades to less than half, that is to 12,000 stades, approximately as many as the winter tropic is distant from the equator; and he sets alongside as causes of the reduction only the deviations from straight lines and the irregularities of the journeys, having passed over those still prior and more readily available, from which it would appear necessary not only to reduce but also to reduce by so much.
§ 1.8.4 For first, concerning the journey from Garama to the Ethiopians, he says: "that Septimius Flaccus, who had campaigned from Libya, arrived among the Ethiopians traveling southward from the Garamantes for three months, and that Julius Maternus, setting out from Leptis Magna, traveling from Garama together with the king of the Garamantes who was advancing against the Ethiopians, traveling entirely southward for four months, arrived at the land Agisymba of the Ethiopians, where the rhinoceroses gather."
§ 1.8.5 Each of these is incredible even by itself, both because the inner Ethiopians are not separated from the Garamantes by so much as to be a three-month journey away, since they themselves are already more properly Ethiopians and have the same king as those, and because it is altogether absurd that the expedition of the king against his subjects should have taken place in one direction only, that from north to south, since these peoples extend very far in both directions toward east and west, and furthermore that he should have made no noteworthy stops anywhere.
§ 1.8.6 Through which it is likely that the men either exaggerated, or used the expression "toward the south" in the way that the natives are accustomed to speak, meaning toward the south wind or toward the southwest wind, using the approximate instead of the precise.
§ 1.9.1 The same correction from the distances according to sea voyages.
Then also concerning the voyage between the Aromata and Rhapta, "he says that a certain Diogenes, one of those sailing to India, returning for the second time, when he came to be near the Aromata, was driven off course by a north wind, and having the Troglodytic region on his right arrived in twenty-five days at the lakes from which the Nile flows, of which the promontory of Rhapta is a little to the south; and that a certain Theophilus, one of those sailing to Azania, put out from the Rhapta with a south wind, and on the twentieth day had arrived at the Aromata."
§ 1.9.2 Each of these men neither reckoned the voyage as one of as many days as he said — for Theophilus reported only that he had arrived on the twentieth day, and Diogenes that he had sailed along the Troglodytic region for twenty-five days, recording only how many days they sailed, but not calculating how many days the voyage amounts to on account of the irregularity and variation of the winds over so much time — nor did either say that the whole voyage went for them toward the north or toward the south, but Diogenes only that he was driven off by a north wind, and Theophilus only that he put out with a south wind, while neither said anything about the rest of the voyage, that it maintained the same heading; for it is not plausible that the same bearing of the wind was maintained for so many days.
§ 1.9.3 And for this reason indeed the distance from the Aromata to the lakes, of which the promontory of Rhapta is further south, was covered by Diogenes in twenty-five days, while Theophilus sailed from the Rhapta to the Aromata, a greater distance, in twenty days; and although Theophilus supposed the daily run to be 1,000 stades, which he himself also followed, he nevertheless says that Dioscorus supposes the voyage from the Rhapta to Prasum, being one of many days, to be only 5,000 stades, the winds near the equator being naturally variable because the passages of the sun across it in the lateral direction are also constituted more swiftly.
§ 1.9.4 Both on account of these considerations it was all the more necessary not to follow the multitude of the days set out, and on account of what is most evident of all, that the calculation composed from them brings the Ethiopians and the gathering of rhinoceroses to the temperate zone of the counter-inhabited world, since all animals and plants ought to be constituted similarly in their temperaments, in accordance with the proportions of the surrounding atmosphere, for those coming to be under the same parallels or under those equally distant from either of the poles.
§ 1.9.5 Whence Marinos reduced the distance only as far as the winter tropic, with not a single reasonable cause being fitted to the amount of the reduction, if one were to accept both the number of days and the regularity of the journeys, which is what he himself does (for maintaining these he reduces only the amount of the daily stades beyond what is moderate and customary, until the limit arrives at whatever parallel he himself thought it necessary to reach); but the contrary was the consistent course, namely to trust the possible extent of the daily journey, but to distrust the regularity both with respect to equality and with respect to direction, as making it not possible through these to obtain the sought distance, or only that it would be greater than that to the equator, but rather from some one of the more evident phenomena.
§ 1.9.6 Such a thing would have been available even with complete precision, if someone happened to have examined more mathematically the circumstances belonging to those regions; but since no such account exists, it would remain from the simpler approach to consider more broadly the reasonableness of the amount of the departure beyond the equator. This is the consideration based on the appearances and colors of the animals in those places; from which it is not consistent that the parallel through the land of Agisymba, which is clearly Ethiopian, should reach even as far as the winter tropic, but rather that it terminates closer to the equator.
§ 1.9.7 For not even among us in places of the same rank, that is those under the summer tropic, do people yet have the complexions of Ethiopians, nor are there rhinoceroses or elephants; but in places not much south of these they are moderately dark, like those inhabiting the Thirty-Schoenus region beyond Syene, which is the sort of people the Garamantes are, and for this reason Marinos himself says they are settled neither at the summer tropic itself nor north of it, but certainly south of it; while in the places around Meroe they are already deeply dark in complexion and are primarily pure Ethiopians, and the race of elephants and of the more extraordinary animals ranges there.
§ 1.10.1 That one ought not to suppose the Ethiopians to be further south than the parallel opposite to that through Meroe
Wherefore it would be well up to this point, that is as long as the account of those who have crossed over to those parts reports Ethiopians to us, to draw both the land of Agisymba and Cape Prasum together with the things lying along the same parallel under the parallel most nearly corresponding to that through Meroe, that is the one distant from the equator toward the south by the equal degrees of 16°25'12", and approximately 8,200 stades, so that the whole breadth is reckoned more broadly as 79°25'12" or whole eighty degrees, and 40,000 stades.
§ 1.10.2 The intervening distance between Leptis Magna and Garama, however, must be maintained as Flaccus and Maternus supposed it, of 5,400 stades. For the twenty days are of a second journey shortened compared to the first with respect to the south or the north, that one being of thirty days on account of the deviations; and he says that those who made the journey set out the measurement in stades of each day, it being not merely possible on many occasions but also necessary on account of the distances between watering places.
§ 1.10.3 Just as one must be doubtful concerning great distances that have been traversed rarely or not in agreement, so one must trust those that are neither great but have also been traversed many times and by many people in agreement.
§ 1.11.1 What has now been stated will suffice to show us what extent in breadth it would be fair to assign to the inhabited world. Its length is given by Marinos at 15 hours, this being the distance comprised between his two extreme meridians — but in our opinion he has unduly extended the distance towards the east. In fact, if the estimate be properly reduced in this direction the entire length must be fixed at less than 12 hours, the Islands of the Blest being taken as the limit towards the west, and the remotest parts of Sera and Sinai and Kattigara as the limit towards the east.
§ 1.11.2 Now the entire distance from the Islands of the Blest to the passage of the Euphrates at Hierapolis, as measured along the parallel of Rhodes, is accurately determined by summing together the several intervening distances as estimated in stadia by Marinos, for not only were the distances well ascertained from being frequently traversed, but Marinos seems moreover in his computation of the greater distances, to have taken into account the necessary corrections for irregularities and deviations. He understood, besides, that while the length of a single degree of the 360 degrees into which the equatorial circle is divided measures, as in the commonly accepted estimate, 500 stadia, the parallel circle which passes through Rhodes in 36 degrees of N. latitude, measures about 400 stadia.
§ 1.11.3 It measures, in fact, a little over that number if we go by the exact proportion of the parallels, but the excess is so trifling as in the case of the equatorial degree, that it may be neglected. But his estimates of the distances beyond Hierapolis require correction.
§ 1.11.4 He computes the distance from the passage of the Euphrates already mentioned to the Stone Tower at 876 schoeni or 26,280 stadia, and from the Stone Tower to Sera, the metropolis of the Seres, at a 7 months’ journey or 36,200 stadia as reckoned along the same parallel. Now in neither case has he made the proper deductions for the excess caused by deviations; and for the second route he falls into the same absurdity as when he estimated the distance from the Garamantes to Agisymba.
§ 1.11.5 Where he had to deduct above half of the stadia in the march of the 3 months and 14 days, since such a march could not possibly have been accomplished without halting. The necessity for halting would be still more urgent when the march was one which occupied 7 months.
§ 1.11.6 But the former march was accomplished even by the king of the country himself, who would naturally use every precaution, and the weather besides was all throughout most propitious. But the route from the Stone Tower to Sera is exposed to violent storms, for as he himself assumes, it lies under the parallels of the Hellespont and Byzantium, so that the progress of travellers would be frequently interrupted.
§ 1.11.7 Now it was by means of commerce this became known, for Marinos tells us that one Maes, a Macedonian, called also Titianus, who was a merchant and son of one, had written a book giving the measurement in question, which he had obtained not by visiting the Seres in person, but from the agents whom he had sent to them. But Marinos seems to have distrusted accounts borrowed from traders.
§ 1.11.8 In giving, for instance, on the authority of Philemon, the length of Hibernia from east to west at a 20 days' journey, he refuses to accept this estimate, which was got, he tells us, from merchants, whom he reprobates as a class of men too much engrossed with their own proper business to care about ascertaining the truth, and who also from mere vanity frequently exaggerated distances. So too, in the case before us, it is manifest that nothing in the course of the 7 months’ journey was thought worthy either of record or remembrance by the travellers except the prodigious time taken to perform it.
§ 1.12.1 Taking all this into consideration, together with the fact that the route does not lie along one and the same parallel (the Stone Tower being situated near the parallel of Byzantium, and Sera lying farther south than the parallel through the Hellespont) it would appear but reasonable in this case also to diminish by not less than a half the distance altogether traversed in the 7 months’ journey, computed at 36,200 stadia, and so let us reduce the number of stadia which these represent at the equator by one-half only, and we thus obtain 18100 stadia or 45 degrees.
§ 1.12.2 For it would be absurd, and show a want of proper judgment, if, when reason enjoins us to curtail the length of both routes, we should follow the injunction with respect to the route from the Garamantes, to the length of which there is the obvious objection, viz., the species of animals in the neighbourhood of Agisymba, which cannot bear to be transplanted from their own climate to another, while we refuse to follow the injunction with regard to the route from the Stone Tower, because there is not a similar objection to its length, seeing that the temperature all along this route is uniform, quite independently of its being longer or shorter. Just as if one who reasons according to the principles of philosophy, could not, unless the case were otherwise clear, arrive at a sound conclusion?
§ 1.12.3 With regard again to the first of the two Asiatic routes, that, I mean which leads from the Euphrates to the Stone Tower, the estimate of 870 schoeni must be reduced to 800 only, or 24,000 stadia, on account of deviations.
§ 1.12.4 We may accept as correct his figures for the entire distance as the several stages had been frequently traversed and had therefore been measured with accuracy. But that there were numerous deviations is evident from what Marinos himself tells us.
§ 1.12.5 For the route from the passage of the Euphrates near Hierapolis through Mesopotamia to the Tigris, and the route thence through the Garamaioi of Assyria and Media to Ekbatana and the Caspian Gates, and through Parthia to Hekatompylos Marinos considers to lie along the parallel which passes through Rhodes, for he traces this parallel as passing through these regions.
§ 1.12.6 But the route from Hekatompylos to Hyrkania city must, of necessity, diverge to the north, because that city lies somewhere between the parallel of Smyrna and that of the Hellespont, since the parallel of Smyrna is traced as passing below Hyrkania and that of the Hellespont through the southern parts of the Hyrkanian Sea from the city bearing the same name, which lies a little farther north.
§ 1.12.7 But, again, the route herefrom to Antiocheia of Margiana through Areia, at first bends towards the south, since Areia lies under the same parallel as the Caspian Gates, and then afterwards turns towards the north, Antiocheia being situated under the parallel of the Hellespont. The route after this runs in an eastward direction to Baktra whence it turns towards the north in ascending the mountains of the Komedoi, and then in passing through these mountains it pursues a southern course as far as the gorge that opens into the plain country.
§ 1.12.8 For the northern parts of the mountain region and those furthest to the west where the ascent begins, are placed by him under the parallel of Byzantium, and those in the south and the east under the parallel of the Hellespont. For this reason, he says, that this route makes a detour of equal length in opposite directions, that in advancing to the east it bends towards the south, and thereafter probably runs up towards the north for 50 schoeni, till it reaches the Stone Tower.
§ 1.12.9 For to quote his own words, “When the traveller has ascended the ravine he arrives at the Stone Tower, after which the mountains that trend to the east unite with Imaos, the range that runs up to the north from Palimbothra.”
§ 1.12.10 If, then, to the 60 degrees made up of the 24,000 stadia, we add the 45 1/4 degrees which represent the distance from the Stone Tower to Sera, we get 105 1/4 degrees as the distance between the Euphrates and Sera as measured along the parallel of Rhodes.
§ 1.12.11 But, further, we can infer from the number of stadia which he gives as the distance between successive places lying along the same parallel, that the distance from the Islands of the Blest to the Sacred Promontory in Spain is 2 1/2 degrees, and the distance thence to the mouth of the Baetis the same. From the Baetis to Kalpe, and the entrance of the Straits, 2 1/2 degrees. From the Straits to Karallis in Sardinia, 25 degrees. From Karallis to Lilybaion, in Sicily, 4 1/2 degrees. From this Cape to Pachynos, 3 degrees. Then again, from Pachynos to Tainaron, in Lakonia, 10 degrees. Thence to Rhodes, 8 1/4 degrees. From Rhodes to Issus, 11 1/4 degrees, and finally from Issus to the Euphrates, 2 1/2 degrees.
§ 1.12.12 The sum of these particular distances gives a total of 72 degrees, consequently the entire length of the known world between the meridian of the Islands of the Blest and that of the Seres is 177 1/4 degrees, as has been already shown.
§ 1.13.1 That such is the length of the inhabited world may also be inferred from his estimate of the distances in a voyage from India to the Gulf of the Sinai and Kattigara, if the sinuosities of the coast and irregularity of the navigation be taken into account, together with the positions as drawn into nearer proximity in the projections; for, he says, that beyond the Cape called Kory where the Kolchic Gulf terminates, the Argaric Gulf begins, and that the distance thence to the City of Kouroula, which is situated to the northeast of Kory is 3,400 stadia.
§ 1.13.2 The distance right across may, therefore, be estimated at about 2,030 stadia, since we have to deduct a third because of the navigation having followed the curvature of the Gulf, and have also to make allowances for irregularities in the length of the courses run.
§ 1.13.3 If now we further reduce this amount by a third, because the sailing, though subject to interruption, was taken as continuous, there remain 1,350 stadia, determining the position of Kouroula as situated north-east from Kory.
§ 1.13.4 If now this distance be referred to a line running parallel to the equator and towards the East, and we reduce its length by half in accordance with the intercepted angle, we shall have as the distance between the meridian of Kouroula and that of Kory, 675 stadia, or 1 1/3 degree, since the parallels of these places do not differ materially from the great circle.
§ 1.13.5 But to proceed: the course of the voyage from Kouroura lies, he says, to the southeast as far as Paloura, the distance being 9,450 stadia. Here, if we deduct as before one-third for the irregularities in the length of the courses, we shall have the distance on account of the navigation having been continuous to the south-east about 6,300 stadia.
§ 1.13.6 And if we deduct from this in like manner as before one-sixth, in order to find the distance parallel to the equator, we shall make the interval between the meridians of these two places 5,250 stadia, or 10 1/2 degrees.
§ 1.13.7 At this place the Gangetic Gulf begins, which he estimates to be in circuit 19,000 stadia. The passage across it from Paloura to Sada in a direct line from west to east is 1,300 stadia. Here, then, we have but one deduction to make, viz., one-third on account of the irregularity of the navigation, leaving as the distance between the meridians of Paloura and Sada 8,670 stadia, or 17 1/3 degrees.
§ 1.13.8 The voyage is continued onward from Sada to the City of Tamala, a distance of 3,500 stadia, in a south-eastward direction. If a third be here again deducted on account of irregularities, we find the length of the continuous passage to be 2,330 stadia, but we must further take into account the divergence towards the south-east, and deduct one-sixth, so we find the distance between the meridians in question to be 1,940 stadia, or 3°50' nearly.
§ 1.13.9 He next sets down the passage from Tamala to the Golden Chersonese at 1,600 stadia, the direction being still towards the south-east, so that after making the usual deductions there remain as the distance between the two meridians 900 stadia, or 1°48'. The sum of these particulars makes the distance from Cape Kory to the Golden Chersonese to be 34° 48'.
§ 1.14.1 Marinos does not state the number of stadia in the passage from the Golden Chersonese to Kattigara, but says Alexander had written that the land thereafter faced the south, and that those sailing along this coast reached the city of Zaba in 20 days, and by continuing the voyage from Zaba southward, but keeping more to the left, they arrived after some days at Kattigara.
§ 1.14.2 He then makes this distance very great by taking the expression “some days” to mean “many days,” assigning as his reason that the days occupied by the voyage were too many to be counted,—a most absurd reason, it strikes me.
§ 1.14.3 For would even the number of days it takes to go round the whole world be past counting? And was there anything to prevent Alexander writing “many” instead of “some,” especially when we find him saying that Dioskoros had reported that the voyage from Rhapta to Cape Prasum took “many days.” One might in fact with far more reason take “some” to mean “a few,” for we have been wont to censure this style.
§ 1.14.4 So now lest we should appear to fall ourselves into the same error, that of adapting conjectures about distances to some number already fixed on, let us compare the voyage from the Golden Chersonese to Kattigara, consisting of the 20 days to Zaba and the “some days” thence to Kattigara with the voyage from Aromata to Cape Prasum, and we find that the voyage from Aromata to Rhapta took also 20 days as reported by Theophilos, and the voyage from Rhapta to Prasum “many more days” as reported by Dioskoros, so that we may set side by side the “some days” with the “many days” and like Marinos take them to be equivalent.
§ 1.14.5 Since then, we have shown both by reasoning and by stating ascertained facts, that Prasum is under the parallel of 16° 25' in South latitude, while the parallel through Cape Aromata is 4°15' in North latitude, making the distance between the two capes 20°40', we might with good reason make the distance from the Golden Chersonese to Zaba and thence to Kattigara just about the same.
§ 1.14.6 It is not necessary to curtail the distance from the Golden Chersonese to Zaba, since as the coast faces the south it must run parallel with the equator. We must reduce, however, the distance from Zaba to Kattigara, since the course of the navigation is towards the south and the east, in order that we may find the position parallel to the equator.
§ 1.14.7 If again, in our uncertainty as to the real excess of the distances, we allot, say, one-half of the degrees to each of these distances, and from the 13°20' between Zaba and Kattigara we deduct a third on account of the divergence, we shall have the distance from the Golden Chersonese to Kattigara along a line parallel to the equator of about 17°10'.
§ 1.14.8 But it has been shown that the distance from Cape Kory to the Golden Chersonese is 34°48', and so the entire distance from Kory to Kattigara will be about 52°.
§ 1.14.9 But again, the meridian which passes through the source of the River Indus is a little further west than the Northern Promontory of Taprobane, which according to Marinos is opposite to Kory, from which the meridian which passes through the mouths of the River Baetis is a distance of 8 hours or 120°. Now as this meridian is 5° from that of the Islands of the Blest, the meridian of Cape Kory is more than 125° from the meridian of the Islands of the Blest. But the meridian through Kattigara is distant from that through the Islands of the Blest a little more than 177° in the latitude of Kory, each of which contains about the same number of stadia as a degree reckoned along the parallel of Rhodes.
§ 1.14.10 The entire length then of the world to the Metropolis of the Sinai may be taken at 180 degrees or an interval of 12 hours, since it is agreed on all hands that this Metropolis lies further east than Kattigara, so that the length along the parallel of Rhodes will be 72,000 stadia.
§ 1.15.1 On the points of disagreement with Marinos in his detailed exposition. As for the overall dimensions, to this extent we have contracted them — both the longitude toward the east and the latitude toward the south — for the reasons set out. And the individual positions of the cities too we have judged worthy of correction in many places, in those cases where he [Marinos] has made conflicting or inconsistent expositions across various memoranda, owing to the overflowing and varied nature of his compilations — as for instance in the cases of those places believed to correspond with one another.
§ 1.15.2 For he says that Tarraco corresponds with Caesarea called Iol, drawing the meridian through the latter also through the Pyrenean mountains — which are in fact considerably to the east of Tarraco.
§ 1.15.3 And [he pairs] Pachynon with Leptis Magna, and Himera with Theainai — whereas the distance from Pachynon to Himera amounts to about four hundred stades, and that from Leptis to Theainai exceeds fifteen hundred, according to what Timosthenes records.
§ 1.15.4 And again he says that Tergeste corresponds with Ravenna, while Tergeste is four hundred and eighty stades distant from the innermost point of the Adriatic at the river Tilaventos toward the summer sunrise, and Ravenna a thousand stades toward the winter sunrise.
§ 1.15.5 He likewise claims the Chelidoniae lies opposite Canopus, Acamas opposite Paphos, and Paphos opposite Sebennytos, putting the distance from the Chelidoniae to Acamas at one thousand stades himself, while Timosthenes puts the distance from Canopus to Sebennytos at two hundred and ninety — even though this latter distance, if those places truly lay under the same meridians, would actually need to be greater, since it would subtend the arc of a larger parallel.
§ 1.15.6 Again, he states that Pisa is seven hundred stades from Ravenna in the direction of Libonotus; yet through his division of climata and hourly zones, he places Pisa in the third hourly zone and Ravenna in the fourth.
§ 1.15.7 And although he states that Noviomagus in Britain is fifty-nine miles south of Londinium, he then shows it to be further north through his system of climata.
§ 1.15.8 And having placed Mount Athos on the parallel running through the Hellespont, he nevertheless positions Amphipolis and the surrounding areas — which lie beyond Athos and the outlets of the Strymon — in the fourth clima, below the Hellespont.
§ 1.15.9 Similarly, although nearly all of Thrace lies below the parallel running through Byzantium, he classified all of its inland cities within the clima that falls above that parallel.
§ 1.15.10 Furthermore, he says, we will place Trapezus on the parallel running through Byzantium; and yet, having shown that Satala in Armenia lies sixty miles south of Trapezus, in his drawing of the parallels he runs the parallel through Byzantium through Satala rather than through Trapezus.
§ 1.15.11 He also claims that the Nile River will be drawn accurately, from the point where it is first observed flowing from south to north as far as Meroë; and likewise that the voyage from Aromata to the lakes from which the Nile flows runs due north, since Aromata lies considerably further east than the Nile. For Ptolemais of the Hunts is ten or twelve days' journey east of Meroë and the Nile; the straits of the Gulf of Adulis near the peninsula of Ocelis and Deira lie three thousand five hundred stades east of Ptolemais; and the cape of the Great Aromata lies five thousand stades further east than these.
§ 1.16.1 That he also made certain errors in the boundaries of the provinces.
He also made certain errors in the boundary descriptions — as when he bounds all of Mysia on the east by the Pontic Sea, and Thrace on the west by Upper Mysia; when he bounds Italy on the north not only by Raetia and Noricum but also by Pannonia, yet bounds Pannonia on the south by Dalmatia alone and no longer by Italy; when, while he has the inland Sogdians and the Sakas bordering India on the south, regarding the peoples north of Mount Imaos — which forms the northernmost boundary of India — he fails to draw the parallels running through the Hellespont and through Byzantium through those aforementioned peoples, but instead draws only the parallel through the middle of the Pontus as the first one passing through them.
§ 1.17.1 Marinos, then, failed to address these and similar issues, either because of the sheer volume and scattered nature of his writings, or because he did not manage, even in his final edition — as he himself states — to complete a map through which he might have made corrections to both the system of climata and the hourly zones.
§ 1.17.2 Some of his information is also inconsistent with what is currently known — as for instance his placing of the Sachalites Gulf to the west of Cape Syagrus;
§ 1.17.3 For all who have crossed the seas to those places agree in assuring me that the district of Sachalites in Arabia, and the Gulf of the same name, lie to the east of Syagros, and not to the west of it as stated by Marinos, who also makes Simylla, the trading post in India, to be further west not only than Cape Komari, but also than the Indus.
§ 1.17.4 But according to the unanimous testimony both of those who have sailed from us to those places and have for a long time frequented them, and also of those who have come from thence to us, Simylla, which by the people of the country is called Timoula, lies only to the south of the mouths of the river, and not also to west of them.
§ 1.17.5 From the same informants we have also learned other particulars regarding India and its different provinces, and its remote parts as far as the Golden Chersonese and onward thence to Kattigara. In sailing thither, the voyage, they said, was towards the east, and in returning towards the west, but at the same time they acknowledged that the period which was occupied in making the voyages was neither fixed nor regular. The country of the Seres and their Metropolis was situated to the north of the Sinai, but the regions to the eastward of both those people were unknown, abounding it would appear, in swamps, wherein grew reeds that were of a large size and so close together that the inhabitants by means of them could go right across from one end of a swamp to the other. In travelling from these parts there was not only the road that led to Baktriane by way of the Stone Tower, but also a road that led into India through Palimbothra. The road again that led from the Metropolis of the Sinai to the Haven at Kattigara runs in a south-west direction, and hence this road does not coincide with the meridian which passes through Sera and Kattigara, but, from what Marinos tell us, with some one or other of those meridians that are further east.
§ 2.1.1 PREFACE TO BOOK II
That which should be considered in general geography must here be explained, and also how the drawing of maps should be emended in keeping with the present knowledge of the known parts of our habitable earth, as far as it concerns the question of the relation of place to place, and also their likenesses, and the method of depicting them.
§ 2.1.2 Beginning with the particular narration let us first make a statement respecting the degrees of longitude and latitude which have been assigned to well-known places. Approximately these are correct, since the traditions concerning them are continuously the same; that is, in the main the traditions agree. But as to the degrees ascribed to localities not as yet thoroughly explored, because of the incomplete and uncertain knowledge we have of these places, they should be computed rather from their nearness to the localities already laid down, and the more thoroughly explored. This should be done lest any of those localities which have been inserted for completing the whole earth's picture should be without a fixed and definite place.
§ 2.1.3 Therefore we have written on the margins of the pages notations respecting the different degrees of different places, and have used these as measurements, in the first place of longitude; then we have noted the degrees of longitude in such manner that if any corrections must be made, from a fuller investigation, they can be inserted in the adjoining spaces which have left vacant between the separate pages.
§ 2.1.4 Moreover we have selected the projection which we especially consider the best in the making of maps, this being the one in which we start at the right hand. The work may then proceed from places already inserted to those not yet inserted. This can best be carried out if we write in the northern latitudes before the southern ones, and the western before the eastern ones; since to the eye of the writer or reader the northern localities appear in the upper part, and the eastern appear on the right hand, on both the globe and the map of the habitable earth.
§ 2.1.5 First of all, therefore, let us set down Europe which we separate from Libya by the Heraclean Strait, and from Asia by the seas and Maeotic Lake, the river Tanais and the meridian drawn from it toward an unknown land. Next, for Libya, let us divide it from Asia with the seas from around Cape Prasum of Ethiopia, as far as the Arabian Gulf. Let us separate Libya from Asia by the isthmus which extends from the bottom of the gulf by Heroon polis to our sea, and separates Egypt from Arabia and Judea. Let us do this that we may not divide Egypt, in making a division of the continent, using the Nile, because continents are bounded more properly, where it is possible, by seas than by rivers.
§ 2.1.6 Finally let us put in Asia, keeping the same plan as in the parts of each continent, of disposing of each of them according to its relation to the whole earth, and to the entire inhabited regions in the continents themselves, first writing in the coast that is most northern, then the western, and the seas and the islands that are nearest together, and those which in some particular are most worthy of mention.
§ 2.1.7 After this let us distinguish, in the descriptions, the various satrapies, and provinces of the earth, treating them as we have before noted, in accord with the known positions of localities and according to what especially ought to be inserted, spurning the multitudinous traditional farrago concerning the peculiar qualities of their different inhabitants, except that, in the case of qualities renowned by general report, we make a short and suitable note on the religion and manners. In this way the opportunity will be given to any one, who desires it, for drawing the parts of the earth in maps according to the particular prefectures and provinces, one or many, and the right relation of the places of each other on the maps will be preserved, together with the right size and the right shape. Nor will it make much difference if in these maps we use parallel meridian straight lines instead of curved lines, provided we keep the proper proportion of the meridian degrees to the degrees marked on the great circle, that is the equator, which is in the middle of every map.
§ 2.1.8 Having stated these things, let us begin our particular descriptions with the western part of Europe according to its provinces or prefectures.
