EARLY GREEK WRITERS. 



HECATAEUS. 



That Dor was not unknown to the Greeks in early times is evi- 

 denced by the citation from Hecataeus of Miletus in Stephan of 

 Byzantium*. Hecataeus, who lived c. 500 B. C, is quoted as fol- 

 lows (from his Trc/atT/yryo-t?) : 'EKaratos *Ao-ta • " fiera Sk -^ TraXai Awpos, 

 vvv 8c Afhpa KoAciTai." 



" Hecataeus in (section on) Asia: 'And next comes ancient Doros, 

 now, however, called Dora'." 



But the change from Doros to Dora occurred long after the time 

 of Hecataeus\ It seems, therefore, that the version of Hecataeus 

 used by Stephan of Byzantium had been added to by interpolation. 

 We have no reason to doubt, however, that Hecataeus knew and 

 mentioned Dor. 



CRATERUS. 



It has been argued by some' that Dor was for a time tributary 

 to the Athenians during the period of Athen's hegemony in the 

 Mediterranean (fifth century B. C). This claim is based on the 

 assumption that Dor in Caria mentioned by Stephan of Byzantium* 

 is really the Phoenician Dor. The passage from Stephan reads as 

 follows :

" There is also a city of Caria named Doros, which Craterus^ in 

 the third book of his treatise ' Concerning Decrees ' records among 

 the Carian cities (as follows): ' Carian tribute: Doros, the 

 Phaselians'." 



Phaselis, the city named with Dor as on the Carian tribute-list, 

 was situated on the Lycian-Pamphylian border. These provinces
