		When they reached their destination, their commander-a general named Hieronymus of Cardia-couldn't believe his eyes: Scores of Arabic-speaking tribesmen were camped on the shore, with pack-camels couched and reed rafts beached, waiting for what they called the thawr-the word was Arabic for "bull"-to appear in the middle of the sulfur-smelling waters.
		The 'bulls,' Hieronymus discovered, were great iceberg-like mounds of jellied crude oil - bitumen - that floated up from the depths of the murky water and drifted aimlessly with the wind.
		However when Hieronymus attempted to harvest the oil with his boats, his forces were attacked by no less than 6000 Arabs - some of them on rafts - and were annihilated in a shower of arrows.

	Hieronymus of Cardia - WCD (Wiki Classical Dictionary) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Hieronymus is generally considered a good and reliable and historian.
		Hieronymus died in about 260 BC, supposedly at the age of 104 (FGrH 154 F15; but a birth date of the late 350s is also suggested, making him slightly younger at his death!).

	The Nabateans
		A Seleucid officer named Hieronymus of Cardia mentioned them in a battle report.
		Hieronymus was sent to wrest it away from them, but they repulsed him.
		By the late 4th century BC, however, conditions in the ancient world were such that the Nabateans could develop a wealthy domain from this plateau.

		Hieronymus wrote a history of his own time, from 323 B.C. to at least 272 B.C. Hieronymus relates that in the country of the Nabataean Arabs there is a bitter lake, in which there are neither fish nor other aquatic creatures, but the local people gather blocks of asphalt out of it.
		The chief and most influential commanders of the latter were Perdiccas the son of Orontes, Leonnatus the son of Anthes, Ptolemaeus the son of Lagus, Lysimachus the son of Agathocles, Aristonus the son of Pisaeus, Pithon the son of Crateuas, Seleucus the son of Antiochus, and Eumenes of Cardia.

		The “bulls,” Hieronymus discovered, were great iceberg-like mounds of jellied crude oil - bitumen - that floated up from the depths of the murky water and drifted aimlessly with the wind (See Aramco World, November-December 1984).
		On the shore, crews of women and children sprinkled the hunks of tarry oil with sand, stuffed them into leather bags and loaded them onto camels for the long journey across the Sinai.
		Ironically when Hieronymus witnessed this extraordinary harvest of the sea, he was under orders to expel the Arabs and secure the oil for his master, the Macedonian Greek king Antigonus I Monophthalmos - the "One-Eyed." As it happened, Hieronymus's talent for keeping good notes of his observations far exceeded his skills as a military leader.

		Because Phylarchos?stories dealt mainly with events from the death of Pyrrhos onward, it is likely that Plutarch?ther major source was Hieronymus of Cardia.
		Probably Hieronymus took a more global view of Pyrrhos, especially as he was a Greek who lived in the period before the rise of Rome as a great power.
		It is evident from this discussion that Plutarch probably did not use Livy as a major source for his ?e of Pyrrhos??t is more likely that he made extensive use of Dionysios and Hieronymus as major sources.

	Electronic Antiquities Volume III, Number 1
		In brief, the problem is that the major source for the period, Hieronymus of Cardia, remains to us only in the work of Diodorus Siculus, 18-20.
		Hieronymus' chronographic system of recounting events as they fit into campaigning years, ending with the winter quarters of the respective protagonists, has regrettably been largely discarded by Diodorus, who superimposes his own chronographic system using Olympic, Roman consul, and Athenian archon years.
		The method I have used in order to achieve the aims of this paper is to discern the chronographic system of Hieronymus within the matrix of Diodorus' historical narrative, and induce independent epigraphic, chronographic, and numismatic documents to fix the chronology in both a feasible and orderly sequence.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.06.30
		One particular problem the author addresses is the bias of Hieronymus of Cardia, a onetime close associate of Eumenes, and the effect this had on later sources drawing upon Hieronymus, such as Plutarch and Cornelius Nepos.
		For example, in the author's view, Hieronymus' account of the battle of Orcynia between Antigonus and Eumenes is coloured by the fact that Hieronymus served under both.
		The resultant picture of Eumenes is of a more 'complex' individual than has been presented in earlier studies, one who indeed attempted to assert his leadership in the political turmoil following Alexander's death and was not overly hindered (or did not allow himself to be hindered) by his Greek heritage.

	Lilith - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema
		Lilith is a female Mesopotamian night demon believed to harm male children.
		In Isaiah 34:14, Lilith is a kind of night-demon or animal, translated as onokentauros; in the Septuagint, as lamia; "witch" by Hieronymus of Cardia; and as screech owl in the King James Version of the Bible.
		Hieronymus of Cardia translated Lilith with lamia, in Horace (De Arte Poetica liber, 340) a witch who steals children, similar to the Breton Korrigan, in Greek mythology described as a Libyan queen who mated with Zeus.

	Diodorus Siculus-Encyclopedia Entry
		Book 17 is the earliest continuous narrative that we possess of the campaigns of Philip's son ALEXANDER, an account possibly adapted from CLEITARCHUS.
		Books 18-20, based on the work of HIERONYMUS OF CARDIA, are our best source for the wars of ALEXANDER's successors.
		In addition to all of this material Diodorus often shifts the scene and discusses contemporary developments in his native Sicily, using the histories of fellow Sicilians like TIMAEUS and PHILINUS.

		Diodorus cannot simply be quoting direct from Polybius because L. holds that he did not draw directly from Polybius but from an earlier author, whom Polybius also used but adapted with items from a different account (16-21).
		These reasonings conform both to the dogma that Diodorus regularly follows a single source for extended sections of text (L., 16; citing for instance J. Hornblower’s Hieronymus of Cardia and V. La Bua’s Filino-Polibio Sileno-Diodoro) and to the broader quellenkritisch dogma that extant writers reproduce earlier sources more or less mechanically.
		As to the first, notice L. (31) inferring that not only Diod.
