Oikouménēs perihḗgēsis): after an introduction (1-26), it deals with the ocean (27-169), the continents of Africa (170-269) and Europe (270-446), the islands (447-619), and Asia (620-1165). The work was much read in antiquity, the Middle Ages, and into the 19th cent. It was loosely translated into Latin by Avienus and Priscianus, and was commented thoroughly by Eustathius....."
