Reading edition
Boeckh, Kleine Schriften, VI. p. 191, says of Hermias, “seine Macht darf man nicht gering anschlagen”; but Atarneus τὸ τοῦ Ἑρμείου τυραννεῖον (Strabo XIII. 614) is described by Himerius (Or. VI. 6) as πόλις μέγεθος οὐ μεγάλη. Even on the most liberal estimate it sinks into utter insignificance in the light of the conquests of Alexander, which so shortly followed it.
