While critically refuting most of them, he agreed with the theory of Agatharcides of Cnide, a geographer of the second century B.C. whose work is largely lost. According to Agatharchides the flood of the Nile was due to the early summer rains on the Ethiopian plateau, and this is in fact the correct answer. The present paper is a critical presentation and examination of these theories, as reported by Theophylact Simocatta. =538 \\$aapplication/pdf =540 \\$aLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
