Hiero ̄numos of Kardia (325 – 250 BCE)
S thrice records geographic observations or descriptions from an anethnic
Hiero ̄numos, generally identified as the Kardian historian. That man served Antigonos

history from the death of Alexander to the death of P; he died aged 104 years.
Strabo ̄n’s Hiero ̄numos described Corinth as had E K (Strabo ̄n 8.6.21 =
FGrHist F16) described Thessalia, as preserved in A E (Strabo ̄n
9.5.22 = FGrHist F17), and gave the size of Crete, likewise (10.4.3 = FGrHist F18).
