Wherever possible, the source and original scanner identification has been retained. Only blank pages have been removed and this header- page added. The original book has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain.

MACMILLAN & CO., 66 FIFTH AVENUE SELECTIONS FROM S T R A B O WITH AN INTRODUCTION ON STRABO'S LIFE AND WORKS BY THE REV. H. F. TOZER, M.A., F.R.G.S. HONORARY FELLOW OF EXETER COLLEGE, OXFORD AUTHOR OF 'THE ISLANDS OF THE AEGEAN,' ETC. WITH MAPS AND PLANS Oxford AT THE CLARENDON PRESS 1893 ©jrfotb PRINTED AT THE CLARENDON PRESS BY HORACE HART, PRINTER TO THE UNIVERSITY PREFACE It is hardly too much to say, that there is no author on whom our knowledge of the ancient world so much as it does on Strabo the information depends ; and which he imparts is of service, not only to the geographer and the historian, but also to naturalists, and to students of folk-lore and of traditions of various kinds : yet it must be confessed that in our own day, though he is often referred to, he is but little read. In the present volume a number of the most interesting passages in his Geo- are to the reader and its will graphy presented ; purpose have been fulfilled, if it succeeds in conveying some impression of the valuable material which the complete work contains. At the same time, it is not altogether an easy matter to make satisfactory extracts from Strabo. In the first place, that author's conciseness of statement, which has enabled him to compress so large an amount of matter into a single work, frequently causes important facts to be imbedded in less interesting surroundings, or to be accompanied by enumerations of names of places, which, though they are highly valuable to the professed geographer, are discouraging to the student of other subjects. Besides this, the editor of Strabo so often finds himself treading on the still warm ashes of modern b VI PREFACE. controversies, into the service of which his author's remarks have been pressed, that he is forced to be on his guard against making his 'Selections' a text-book of disputed questions. Some sections, again, —including almost every thing that Strabo has said on the subject of mathematical geography—are unsuited for extracts, because the)' take the form of criticisms of the views his while others it is safe to of predecessors ; ignore, because the statements which they contain have been proved by the advance of knowledge to be erroneous. Notwithstanding these limitations, however, a large number of interesting passages remain, which can be presented to of their context and it is the reader independently ; hoped that those which are here brought together may be of service in illustrating, as by a series of vignettes, some of the less familiar features of ancient history, and in opening to view here and there a wider field of study than what is contained in the more familiar classical authors. The editor's best thanks are due to many friends, who have assisted him in his work by supplying him with information on subjects with which he is imperfectly and to the Rev. C. acquainted ; especially W. Boase, Fellow of Exeter College, who with great kindness has read through his proof-sheets, and has aided him with valuable suggestions. The Map of the World according to Strabo has been adapted from that of Dr. C. Muller in the Didot edition. H. F. T. Oxford. Sept. 14, 1893. CONTENTS PAGE Introduction I Book I. —Prolegomena. No 1.

The aS trap Of Western Anatolia And The Greeks Abstract This dissertation explores the extent to which Persian policies in the western satrapies originated from the provincial capitals in the Anatolian periphery rather than from the royal centers in the Persian heartland in the fifth ec ntury BC. I begin by establishing that the Persian administrative apparatus was a product of a grand reform initiated by Darius I, which was aimed at producing a more uniform and centralized administrative infrastructure. In the following chapter I show that the provincial administration was embedded with chancellors, scribes, secretaries and military personnel of royal status and that the satrapies were periodically inspected by the Persian King or his loyal agents, which allowed to central authorities to monitory the provinces. In chapter three I delineate the extent of satrapal authority, responsibility and resources, and conclude that the satraps were supplied with considerable resources which enabled to fulfill the duties of their office. After the power dynamic between the Great Persian King and his provincial governors and the nature of the office of satrap has been analyzed, I begin a diachronic scrutiny of Greco-Persian interactions in the fifth century BC.

Arrive at the Corinth Canal for a brief stop and then continue on to the Acropolis of Corinth. Acro-corinth is the citadel of Corinth. It is situated to the southwest of the ancient city and rises to an elevation of 1883 ft. [574 m.]. Today it is surrounded by walls that are about 1.85 mi. [3 km.] long. The foundations of the fortifications are ancient—going back to the Hellenistic Period. The current walls were built and rebuilt by the Byzantines, Franks, Venetians, and Ottoman Turks. Climb up and visit the fortress. Then proceed to the Ancient city of Corinth. It was to this megalopolis where the apostle Paul came and worked, established a thriving church, subsequently sending two of his epistles now part of the New Testament. Here, we see all of the sites associated with his ministry: the Agora, the Temple of Apollo, the Roman Odeon, the Bema and Gallio’s Seat. The small local archaeological museum here is an absolute must! In Romans 16:23 Paul mentions his friend Erastus and • • we will see an inscription to him at the site.

  • Early Christianity in the Lycus Valley Early Christianity in Asia Minor (ECAM)
    Early Christianity in the Lycus Valley Early Christianity in Asia Minor (ECAM) The subseries “Early Christianity in Asia Minor”, of which this is the rst vol- ume to be published, is part of the series AJEC. It stands in the tradition of the work of Adolf von Harnack, Die Mission und Ausbreitung des Christen- tums in den ersten drei Jahrhunderten, Leipzig 41924. Each volume of ECAM will focus on the rise and expansion of Christianity in a speci c geographic region of Asia Minor up to the Council of Chalcedon in AD 451. The mono- graphs endeavor to take into account all relevant literary and non-literary evidence, paying special attention to epigraphical and archaeological mate- rial, and to document the current state of research. This rst volume deals with the rise and expansion of Christianity in the Lycus valley. A second volume on Lycaonian Christianity will follow soon. Volumes on Early Christianity in Phrygia, in Ionia, along the lower Meander and in Cilicia are in preparation.

ARCHDEACON AND CANON OF NORWICH CHAPLAIN-IN-ORDJNARY TO H.M. THE KING MACMILLAN AND CO., LIMITED ST. MARTIN S STREET, LONDON 1914 COPYRIGHT J PREFACE SOME little time ago I put out a small work dealing with the doctrinal sections of llomans and Galatians. This was not unkindly reviewed by several public prints. Their words and the encouragement of friends, both known and unknown, determined me to go forward and deal with other Epistles as I had dealt with these. For various private reasons I first selected this one. The result is this little book. A formal edition it cannot claim to be. Years of study would be needed for the achieving of such a purpose. Nor indeed is it intended for the use of practised scholars. The people I have in my mind are those who still have time and energy for quiet Bible reading. I hope such will not be scared by the intrusion of Greek words. For more than forty years now I have been read ing the New Testament in the original and, in common with many others, I think we have still a good deal to learn about its meaning.

  • 015 Transcript
    Episode 015 The Advent of the Mycenaean Galley In our last episode we looked at the Amarna letters, dated to around 1350 BCE. They gave us some insight into the devolution of the commercial ties and the balances of power that had existed previously in the Bronze Age. We had a smattering of glimpses of the Mycenaeans, a people who had emerged as a maritime power in the late Bronze Age. Today, we take a closer look at the Mycenaeans and the archaeological and written evidence for their maritime exploits during the latter stages of the Bronze Age. To get the ball rolling today, let’s again set a timeframe on where we are in history. The Minoans began to peter out within a century of the Thera eruption, which has been roughly dated to 1628 BCE. The Mycenaean people, or their predecessors if we’re being technical, had been present in small numbers on mainland Greece since Neolithic times. However, it wasn’t until around 1600 BCE, after the Thera eruption, that the mainland occupant began to expand in earnest. This timeframe marks the transition from the Middle Bronze Age to the Late Bronze Age. In Greece itself, we call this period the Late Helladic Period. As has been the case with the Minoans, the Hittites, and several other civilizations from this period, next to nothing was known about the Mycenaeans until the archaeology boom of the mid 19th Century. We’ll consider the accounts of the Trojan War at some point in our discussion, but for now it suffices to say that the mythos of the Trojan War led first to the discovery of the city of Troy in Anatolia, the famous discovery made by Heinrich Schliemann.
