Abstract

In the much discussed list of thalassocrats excerpted by Eusebios from Diodorosthe tenth entry remains the most puzzling.2 Although the name is missing inEusebios' Chronographia, both the Armenianversion of the Canons and Jerome's Latin Canons give this place to the Karians, and the Armenian Canons are generally followed for the period of rule of sixtyoneyears:3 ‘Zehntens führten die Seeherrschaft die Karier, 61 Jahre.’ The years apparently covered by this Karian thalassocracy are c. 735–674 B.C.4.
