	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2000.06.18
		Agatharchides' On the Red Sea is discussed in a short essay by Jehan Desanges who examines this second century BC author's work in relation to accounts of the region found in Artemidorus, Diodorus and Strabo.
		Adopting a cautious approach to this exercise of Quellenforschung, Desanges proposes instead that Diodorus may have relied on Agatharchides and that discrepancies between the works are to be explained as rhetorical embellishments rather than evidence of different traditions and sources.
		Finally, in an attempt to establish a stratigraphy of the text, he examines Agatharchides in relation to the changes in Ptolemaic control of and familiarity with the Red Sea and finds that his work describes the region as it was between 280 and 250 BC, three generations before Agatharchides wrote, a salutary conclusion!

		Agatharchides is a lunar crater located at the southern edge of Oceanus Procellarum, in the region between the Mare Humorum and Mare Nubium.
		The interior of the crater has been inundated by lava in the past, resurfacing the floor.
		By convention these features are identified on Lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Agatharchides crater.

		Nay, Agatharchides of Cnidus, who wrote the acts of Alexander's successors, reproaches us with superstition, as if we, by it, had lost our liberty; where he says thus: "There is a nation called the nation of the Jews, who inhabit a city strong and great, named Jerusalem.
		But when Ptolemy had taken a great many captives, both from the mountainous parts of Judea, and from the places about Jerusalem and Samaria, and the places near Mount Gerizzim, he led them all into Egypt, (2) and settled them there.
