Note 111 — Chapter I · THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE ANCIENT WORLD
Reading edition
Our knowledge of Posidonius’ theory of the tides, which was explained in a treatise on the ocean, is derived from extracts from this treatise given in Strabo, Geogr., III, 5, and from a Latin translation of Priscian of Lydia’s Solutiones (citations from Duhem, Système, vol. ii, p. 280).
