Book Description

Excerpt from Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography, Vol. 1 of 2: Abacaenum-Hytanis Tm; present work completes the Series of Classical Dictionaries, and forms, with the Dictionaries of Greek and Roman Antiquities and Greek and Roman Biography already published, an Encyclopedia of Classical Antiquity. The Dictionary of Geography, like the other two works, is designed mainly to illustrate the Greek and Roman writers, and to enable a diligent student to read them in the most profitable manner; but it has been thought advisable to include the geographical names which occur in the Sacred Scriptures, and thus to make the work a Dictionary of Ancient Geography in the widest acceptation of the term. The name Greek and Roman has however been retained, partly for the sake of uniformity, but chiefly to indicate the principal object of the work.
