I was wondering why there doesn't seem to be trait about Strabo when you conquer Side, like Periegesis Pamphylias or something like that. Even wikipedia mentiones that Strabo wrote something about Side.

I wanted to know what Strabo had to say about Side but I couldn't find anything about it in export_VnVs.

Does anyone know where I can find Strabo writing about Side/Pamphylia?

Thank you.

A definite version may not have been published yet, though:


The Geographia is an extensive work in Greek, spanning 17 volumes, and can be regarded as an encyclopedia of the geographical knowledge of his time. He also gives a history of geography, thus giving us information about various older geographers whose works have not survived. Some thirty manuscripts of Geographia or parts of it have survived, almost all of them medieval copies of copies, though there are fragments from papyrus rolls which were probably copied out ca AD 100 - 300. Scholars have struggled for a century and a half to produce an accurate edition close to what Strabo wrote. A definitive one has been in publication since 2002, appearing at a rate of about a volume a year.

According to that quote, it seems that seeing that there has only been one published volume, that the EB team must of overlooked this aspect.

Yup. At any rate if you want to find Strabo, Perseus or Bibliotheca Augstana are good starting points (not to mention a university library if you happen to have access to one).
