The paper sets out the rationale for a new presentation of these geographical texts, and compares it with other on-going projects such as the Budé Géographes grecs and Fragmente der griechischen Historiker V. A paragraph of the author’s draft translation of Pseudo-Skylax is compared with previous versions, and a sample of commentary in SGG style offered for consideration. Finally, a longer extract from the translation (§§1–10) is analysed.","PeriodicalId":402432,"journal":{"name":"Syllecta Classica","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134054047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A majority of the surviving sources, however, are either Christian or \"Christianized,\" focusing on and interpreting central elements in Christian tradition (Christ as Savior, traditions from Christian gospels, etc.), or at least incorporating some Christian elements (e.g., vocabulary, ritual). The classic sources describing \"gnosis\" or \"gnosticism\" are in fact writings by ancient Christian heresiologists, from as early as the second century CE., who catalogued many such traditions and treated diem as deviant forms or corruptions of Christian truth, \"heresies.\" The lists of ancient \"heresies\" provided by the heresiologists include sects associated widi die names of various individual teachers, such as die Christian teachers Marcion, Valentinus, Basilides, Carpocrates, Cerinthus, or Satomil, but also groups that are labeled by die heresiologists based on some element of their alleged teaching (e.g., \"Sethians,\" because of dieir mytiis about die biblical figure Setii).
