One Thousand Years of Greek Space Representations : Byzantine minor compilations of Pontic geography (Περίμετρος τοῦ Πόντου)
This paper offers some remarks about the mostly unknown Περίμετρος τοῦ Πόντου who survives in just one codex at the Royal Library of Copenhagen (Codex Hauniensis reg. ant. GkS 1985, 4° fol. 235), dated 14th/15th century. The focus is not only on the title and the reception of the text but also the contents of the Περίμετρος. It is possible to divide it into three parts: the first one with the Eratosthenical ἀναμέτρησις of the oikoumene, the second one with the distances of the Euxine Pontos, and the third one relating to measurements and equivalences.
