Abstract

Strabo, Geography XVII 1, 36

The article consists of two main parts. The first one contains the translation of 36th chapter from seventeenth book of Strabo’s Geography. The second part contains the analysis and the commentary to this chapter. The chapters, which precede as well as follow the analysed one, describe the Lake of Moeris, which seems, according to Strabo, to be similar to the sea. Strabo tries to prove this thesis and he uses the argumentation which is based on the Stoic philosophy.
