The Chronicle of the Discovery and Conquest of Guinea. Vol. II

Note 60 — GOMES EANNES DE AZURARA;

C. Raymond (Charles Raymond) Beazley translation

This is first noticed by Aristotle, "On Marvellous Narratives," § 37; by Mela, De Situ Orbis, iii, 9; and by Pliny, Natural History, ii, 67, § 167-170, and elsewhere. The Periplus of Himilco seems to have been worked up by Avienus (c. 400 a.d.) in the first 400 lines of his poem, "De Ora Maritima."
