	Stephanus of Byzantium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stephanus Byzantinus (Stephanus of Byzantium), the author of a geographical dictionary entitled Εθνικα (Ethnica), of which, apart from some fragments, we possess only the meagre epitome of one Hermolaus.
		Hermolaus dedicates his epitome to Justinian; whether the first or second emperor of that name is meant is disputed, but it seems probable that Stephanus flourished in the earlier part of the 6th century, under Justinian I.
		The chief fragments remaining of the original work (which certainly contained lengthy quotations from classical authors and many interesting topographical and historical details) are preserved by Constantine Porphyrogennetos, De administrando imperio, ch.

		Stephanus of Byzantium has often been attacked by modern scholars for the artificial nature of the ethnics which he attributes to many sites.
		Whitehead concludes: "The value and reliability of Stephanus of Byzantium does therefore come down in the end to the value and reliability of his sources".
		I am only pointing out the problem that whenever Stephanus is our only source about the status of a community or the classification of a site, we cannot adopt his assertion automatically, because it might originate in the misunderstanding or alteration of an older source.

		All this she said to herself as she quitted Paula's room; but perhaps this woman, who had much that was good in her, might have felt some ruth, if in the course of the next few hours she could but have looked into the heart of the orphan entrusted to her protection.
		Only once did Paula sob aloud; then she indignantly dried her tears, and sat for a long time gazing at the floor, shaking her pretty head again and again as though something unheard-of and incredible had befallen her.
		At last, with a bitter sigh, she went to bed; and while she vainly strove for sleep, and for strength to pray and be silently resigned, Time seemed to her a wild-beast chase, Fate a relentless hunter, and the quarry he was pursuing was herself.

		But the lexicographer Suidas enumerates the works of Horapollo, the philologer and commentator on Greek poetry, without naming the Hieroglyphica, which is the only treatise alluded to by Stephanus.
		It must be remembered that we still possess well-executed hieroglyphic inscriptions dating from the time of Decius, 250 years after Christ.

	hierapolis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The city of Hierapolis, which was founded on this site in the 2nd century B.C., differs from all other ancient cities in being located, not on earth or rock, but on solid limestone layers formed by limestone water that flowed for centuries over this raised level plateau.
		"Hierapolis" can mean "sacred city", and according to Stephanus of Byzantium the city was given this name because of the large number of temples it contained.
		Up to the reign of Augustus the city was officially described on coins as Hierapolis, the city of temples, but it seems reasonable to assume that this was not the original meaning of the name.

		It is not likely that this Suidas is the author of the Lexicon ; but no certain conclusion as to the age of the compiler can be derived from passages in the work, which undoubtedly were written long after the time of Stephanus of Byzantium, for the work may have received numerous interpolations and additions.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 1998.11.25
		The Periegesis poses a unique set of problems because Hekataios' use of the word polis is known, with two exceptions, only from the lexicon of Stephanus of Byzantium.
		Drawing upon an earlier CPC study [2], H. argues that Stephanus is a reliable guide to Hekataios' language only when he quotes Hekataios directly or paraphrases his work in such a way that it is obvious that Hekataios himself used the term polis.
		These master indices will, thus, be extremely useful to scholars wishing to consult the work of the CPC about a particular topic or geographic region.

	Thebes, Egypt
		Homer, too, refers to "Egyptian Thebes, where the houses are rich in treasures; with a hundred gates, from each of which two hundred warriors sally forth with chariots and horses" (Iliad 9: 381-384; perhaps an interpolation).
		Later classical writers (Diodorus, Strabo, Pliny, Stephanus of Byzantium) also refer to the great "hundred-gated" city.
		The hostility shown to Amun by Amenophis IV / Akhenaten and the temporary transfer of the capital to Tell el-Amarna did little to diminish the splendor of Thebes.

		The editio princeps of the Greek text was Robert Estienne (Stephanus), Paris, 1546.

		The passage from Plutarch (which Fraser does not mention) is only the tip of one strand of a tangled skein of evidence which includes the list of Alexandrias in Stephanus of Byzantium, the A and a strands of the Alexander Romance (treated nicely in Appendix 2, pp.
		Fraser disentangles this complicated web -- to the extant it can be disentangled -- by careful and persistent plucking; in the end, much of it disintegrates before our eyes.
		In the matter of the sources for Alexandrias, Fraser's most important result is his claim to have identified the source for the Alexandria-lists in the Alexander Romances in their various recensions and in Stephanus.

		This arrangement lasted till about 372 AD, when Lycaonia, including Derbe, was formed into a separate province.
		The statement of Stephanus of Byzantium that Derbe was "a fortress of Isauria" originated in the arrangement which existed from 295 to 372 AD.
		Coins of the city represent Heracles, Fortuna and a winged Victory writing on a shield (after the pattern of the Venus of Melos, in the Louvre, Paris).

	Origins and Endings
		Some questions that come to mind when studying Amazons are: “Where did they come from.” And “Where were did they live?” Although there is no definite date or time that the first Amazon nation was established, we will explore what ancient authors had to say about where they were established.
		Strabo and Diodorus do not explain the beginnings of the Amazons; the later sources (Stephanus and Justin) say absent men led to Amazon origins
		Diodorus’ account is punctuated with expressions such as “tradition has it that,” whereby the narrator declines responsibility and hides behind what other people say.

	Greek Mythology: ANCHIALE / ANKHIALE Titan Goddess of Heat & Warmth
		For instance, Hesiod says that five daughters were born to Hekateros and the daughter of Phoroneus [Ankhiale?], 'from whom sprang the mountain-ranging Nymphai, goddesses, and the breed of Satyroi, creatures worthless and unfit for work, and also the Kouretes, sportive gods, dancers." - Strabo, Geography 10.3.19
		"Ankhiale, daughter of Iapetos, founded Ankhiale (a city near Tarsos): her son was Kydnos, who gave his name to the river at Tarsos: the son of Kydnos was Parthenios, from whom the city was called Parthenia: afterwards the name was changed to Tarsos [a city in Kilikia]." - Stephanus Byzantium "Anchiale" (from Athenodorus of Tarsus)

		It appears probable that the Anakim came from the Aegean like the Philistines, to whom they may have been related.

		Anket or Anukit was also the name of the goddess worshipped by the Egyptians at the First Cataract.

		A titular see of Crete, suffragan of Candia.
		Certain historians and geographers identify this locality with the ancient Pantomatrion mentioned by Stephanus of Byzantium, by Ptolemy (III, xv, 5), who places it between Rhethymnos and the promontory of Dium, and by Pliny (IV, xx, 3), who places it elsewhere.
		If Milopotamos is identical with Avlopotamos, this Greek see is alluded to for the first time towards 1170 (Parthey, "Hieroclis Synecdemus", 118); it is spoken of again in another undated "Notitia episcopatuum" (Gelzer, "Ungedruckte.
