The Peutinger Map (the so-called "Tabula Peutingeriana")

The Peutinger Map is an ancient work (a "primary source"). Unlike many ancient literary texts, it does not have a long-standing canonical system of citation developed by humanist scholars. We prefer citations to the TP to be constructed using the grid reference system developed by Richard Talbert for his book Rome's World, as exemplified below. Such citations are to be accompanied by links to Talbert's digital edition (aka "database"), which is published online by Cambridge University Press.

Ptolemy's Geography

There have been a number of editions of Ptolemy published over the years. Some have treated the whole work, others only parts. Therefore all citations of Ptolemy in Pleiades need to be glossed with the edition used. Pleiades contributors are encouraged to use the preferred citation method (below), but the editors realize that many will not have access to that particular edition. Therefore, we provide guidance on citing all relevant editions. Some editions are described here because they were used in data previously imported into Pleiades from the Barrington Atlas.

The editors' preference is for citations of Alfred Stückelberger & Gerd Grasshof (2006) Ptolemaois: Handbuch der Geographie. 2 Volumes. Schwabe (not available online) in the following format:

• Ptol. (Stückelberger), X.X

• http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/49801572
• Ptol. (Müller), X.X

Smith's Geography

Although long-superseded for many of its entries by more recent scholarly publications, William Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography (1854) remains an admirable and useful reference work, providing information about attested names and their sources. Its value is significantly enhanced by its digitization and online publication in the Perseus Digital Library at Tufts University. For all these reasons, citations of Smith's Geography are welcome in Pleiades after the following model:

• http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0064%3Aalphabetic+letter%3DT%3Aentry+group%3D16%3Aentry%3Dturris-libyssonis-geo
