Schoff W. H. Schoff trans : “ Periplus of the Erythraean sea, travel

(New York 1912). The text is from the edition of C. Mullet
Geographici Graeci Minores, Paris 1855 and B. Fabricius,
Leipzig 1883. SchofFs dating of the original to A. D. 60 may
not be acceptable if the king Mambanus, presumably a corrupt
reading for Nambanus, is taken as NahapSna, but it would be
difficult to date the work beyond A. D. 90. See also W. Me-
Crindle, I A. 8, 108-151.

ed. Fausholl; his translation in SBE X has been used with
