[4408] Of Cyzicus, See end of [B. ii.]; of Cnidos, See end of [B. iv.]
[4409] A Greek historian, who appears, from Plutarch, to have written a history of the expeditions of Alexander the Great.
[4413] The author of the Periplus, or voyage which he performed round a part of Libya, of which we have a Greek translation from the Punic original. His age is not known, but Pliny states (B. ii. c. [67], and B. v. c. [1]) that the voyage was undertaken in the most flourishing days of Carthage. It has been considered on the whole, that he may be probably identified with Hanno, the son or the father of Hamilcar, who was slain at Himera, B.C. 480.
[4414] Mentioned also by Pliny, B. ii. c. [67], as having conducted a voyage of discovery from Gades towards the north, along the western shores of Europe, at the same time that Hanno proceeded on his voyage along the western coast of Africa. He is repeatedly quoted by Festus Avienus, in his geographical poem called Ora Maritima. His voyage is said to have lasted four months, but it is impossible to judge how far it extended.
