Callimachus, Conon and Ptolemy: an Alexandrian epigram between geography and astronomy

Abstract A neglected, anonymous and undated epigram on the world map of Ptolemy’s Geography , here critically edited for the first time on the basis of all existing manuscripts, proves a rare case of reception of Callimachus’ Lock of Berenice , with an emphasis on the bonds between geography and astronomy, and with so-called ‘geographical astrology’. It may stem from Late Antique Alexandria.
