History of Dor. 97 



PTOLEMY. 



Claudius Ptolemau8, Alexandrian geographer and astronomer, 

 includes Dor within the <l>otvtKr;s Bicn^, and reckons its position as 

 follows" : 



Aojpa ^s a(:=^) A/3 yo 



''Dor 66° 30' 32° 40'" 



This testimony would seem to indicate that Dor was still in exist- 

 ence about the middle of the second century A. D. 



CHARAX PERGAMENUS. 



Stephan of Byzantium' quotes from Book 11 of Charax to the 

 effect that Trypho, when besieged at Dor by Antiochus, fled eis 

 IlToAe/AatSa, r^v "A/<>;v Xtyojxivqv, " to Ptolemais, called Ake '". Mid- 

 ler* places Charax under the emperors Hadrian, Antoninus Pius 

 and Marcus Aurelius (i. e., 117-180 A, D.). Charax gives us, 

 however, no information concerning Dor in his own pei'iod. 



PAUSANIAS. 



In the course of his discussion of the ethnic of Dor, Stephan of 

 Byzantium" quotes Pausanius as authority for the form Awpieis (from 

 Awpievs), as follows: 



navfravias Se ev t^ Trj<i TrarptSos avTov ktl(T€L Awpteis avroi's KuAei Tijo^ 

 ypd(f>wv '' TvpLOt AcTKaAwviTat Awptei? Pac^avewrat, (jj(tt€ Trapa Tryv Awpov 

 TO Awpiov etrat. ov av uq to Atoptev's. d>s tov ^yjaiov to XvycrieDS. 



"And Pausanias in his work on his native land calls them 

 Dorieis, writing thus: ' Tyrians, Askalonites, Dorieis, Rhaphan- 

 ites;' so that beside the feminine Doros there is a neuter form 

 Dorion, whose ethnic would be Dorieus, just as the ethnic of 

 Chesiou is Chesieus," 



Pausanias was a Greek traveller and author who lived in the 

 latter half of the second Christian century\ Examination of his
