Strabo – “Geography”
“There remain of Europe, first, Macedonia and the parts of Thrace that are contiguous to it and extend as far as Byzantium; secondly, Greece; and thirdly, the islands that are close by. Macedonia, of course, is a part of Greece, yet now, since I am following the nature and shape of the places geographically, I have decided to classify it apart from the rest of Greece and to join it with that part of Thrace which borders on it and extends as far as the mouth of the Euxine and the Propontis. Then, a little further on, Strabo mentions Cypsela and the Hebrus River, and also describes a sort of parallelogram in which the whole of Macedonia lies.”
(Strab. 7.fragments.9)

hand. Andronicus himself seems to have ascribed to<br />

Apellico's discovery so little importance that he based<br />

neither the inquiry into the genuineness of a<br />

tract nor<br />

the discussion of a various reading upon any reference<br />

to the MSS. of Neleus. 1 Later editors did not in any<br />

way feel themselves bound <strong>by</strong> his text, 2 though if<br />

Strabo were right, it could be the only authentic one.<br />

On the other hand, the theory that <strong>by</strong> the loss of<br />

the works of Aristotle, the followers of Theophrastus<br />

strayed from the original<br />

teachings of their school and<br />

lost themselves in mere rhetorical developments, is an<br />

obvious contradiction of the facts.<br />

It may be true that<br />

the Peripatetics of the third century strayed away as<br />

time went on from the study of natural philosophy and<br />

metaphysics, but this change took place not on the<br />

death of Theophrastus, but at the<br />

of his successor Strato.<br />

himself to ethics and rhetoric, that he<br />

earliest on the death<br />

So far was he from confining<br />

devoted himself,<br />

on the contrary, with a one-sided preference to physics,<br />

though he <strong>by</strong> no means neglected logic and metaphysics.<br />

He frequently contradicted Aristotle ; but<br />

that could not be <strong>by</strong> ignorance of the Aristotelian system,<br />

because he attacked it expressly. 3 It does not appear<br />
