SCYMNUS

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 519 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SCY-SHA
SCYMNUS of Chios, the name assigned to a
Greek
  geographer of uncertain date, commonly taken to be the author of a fragmentary
anonymous
  Paraphrasis in verse describing the northern coasts of the Mediterranean and the shores of the Black Sea, a
work
  which in the first edition (Augsburg, 1600) was ascribed to Marcianus of
Heraclea
 .
Meineke
  showed that this piece cannot be by Scymnus. It is dedicated to a King Nicomedes, probably Nicomedes III. of
Bithynia
  (9176 B.c.), and so would date from the beginning of the 1st
century
  B.C. Its most valuable portions relate to the Euxine regions and to the Hellenic colonies. of those shores as well as of the coasts of Spain, Gaul and
Italy
 .

Meineke
 's edition (Berlin, 1846) ; C.
Muller
 , Geographi Graeci minores, vol. i., where the poem is edited with sufficient prolegomena, (pp. lxxiv. lxxvii.) ; E. H. Bunbury, Ancient Geography, i. 99, 100, 102, 128, 183 ; H. 26, 69-74. _
