Some Problems of the Troad
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 October 2013
Extract
The preparation of the commentary on Strabo's account of Asia Minor undertaken by the Hellenic Society is seriously delayed by the war—not only from the general preoccupation with more immediate emergencies, but by the fact that several of the most important collaborators are actively employed on Government service in the Near East. Under the circumstances it may be pardoned if I publish some of my own material at once, in the hope that I may receive criticism and advice in some of the more difficult problems. I begin with one or two points in which further consideration has led me to modify views already made public. For the location of the sites mentioned I must refer the reader to the map of the Troad, Pl XXI., in B.S.A., xvii. All the places named are marked in Philippson's Karte des N. W. Kleinasien.

page 27 note 1 It would seem, however, that the process of distillation was known to the Greeks as early as the fifth century, when it is described by Zosimos, who compiles probably from earlier sources. Into this question I cannot here enter more fully.—W. L.
