coast. The author declares he has personally seen Greece, the Asian cities, Tyrrhenia and
Sicily, almost all of Libya and Carthage (109–138). He mentions the traditional four large
nations of the ends of the oikoumene ̄: the Celts in the west, Indians in the east, Skuths in
the north, and “Ethiopians” in the south.

Pausanias of Gela (ca 460 – 430 BCE?)
Son of Ankhitos (I, VP 113), from Gela (D L 8.61),
follower of and admired by E A, to whom Empedokle ̄s dedicated
his work (D.L. 8.71). A K and S K claim he was
Empedokle ̄s’ boy lover (D.L. 8.60); H H P declares
Empedokle ̄s related to Pausanias the tale of reviving a dead woman (ibid.), and gives him a
prominent role in the narrative of Empedokle ̄s’ disappearance (D.L. 8.67–69). Wright 1981:
75 – 76 surmises that Empedokle ̄s encouraged Pausanias to study the art of healing and
elevate his thoughts to improve the constitution and mixture of his soul. He is very likely the
same Pausanias listed by G Meth. Med. 1.1 (10.6 K.; Hankinson 1991: 5; Inwood 2001:
162 – 163) with Empedokle ̄s and P L as Italian physicians. Empedokle ̄s’
epigram on Pausanias (D.L. 8.61) is almost certainly spurious (Wright 1981: 160; cf. Anth. Gr.
7.508).

Pause ̄ris (50 – 300 CE)
An interlocutor with Herme ̄s in a lost alchemical dialogue cited by the A
A “C” (CAAG 2.281). In a fragment of the same dialogue preserved
by O A, Herme ̄s is once mistakenly replaced by P,
as shown by the citation of this and one other passage from the dialogue by Z
P in his writings preserved in Arabic (Hallum 2008: 209–211). For the Egyptian
name, “he of Osiris,” cf. H 3.15 and P, Book 22, fr.17.4.

Pausimakhos of Samos (440 – 400 BCE?)
Wrote a periplous of unknown scope, cited by A, OM 42 – 50, along with P
A and others dated to the 5th c. BCE. The name is almost unknown in the
Greco-Roman period: LGPN 1.366–367, 2.364. Gisinger compares P and dates
Pausimakhos to “before 500 BCE.”
