ARTEMIDORUS. (I) A geographer of "Ephesus" who flourished about 1 oo B.C. His large work on general geography (T a 'yewypackovge/a) in I 1 books, much used by Strabo and others, is lost, but we possess many small fragments and larger fragments of an abridgment made by Marcianus of Heracleia (5th century), which contains the periplus of the Euxine and accounts of Bithynia and Paphlagonia.
(A. Daldianus.) A soothsayer and interpreter of dreams who flourished during the reigns of Hadrian and the Antonines. His OPapouptruca, or interpretation of dreams, in four books, with an appendix, is extant and affords a valuable insight into ancient superstitions. It is mainly a compilation from the works of earlier authors. According to Suidas, Artemidorus also wrote on augurs and cheiromancy, but all trace of these works is lost. (Editions: Reiff, 1805; Hercher, 1864; translation and notes, Krauss, 1881; English translation by Wood, 1644, and later editions.)
