Visited various parts of Asia Minor, Syria, Phoenicia and Egypt, as far as Syene and the Cataracts of the Nile. On intimate terms with Aelius Gallus, Roman Governor of Egypt. Later travelled in Greece, Macedonia and Italy. At an advanced age, compiled his Geography, in 17 books, which has come down practically complete.
