Art. III.—Illustration of the Route from Seleucia to Apobatana, as given by Isidorus of Charax
View through CrossRef
Amongst the many works of antiquity whose loss we have to deplore, are those of the historian of Charax. Some of them, if our good fortune had permitted their preservation, would have diffused a strong light upon the study of Oriental subjects, which owing to the progress of research and discovery at home and abroad, is prosecuted with increased ardour by the learned throughout Europe. His Parthic history, for example, was a work which to us would have been invaluable. Amongst the fragments of his composition remaining, is, however, an Itinerary of a route through the principal parts of Asia, an ancient relic of exceediug worth, and which, from its perfect accuracy, cannot be sufficiently commended.
