ARTEMIDORUS . (I) A geographer " of See also:Ephesus " who flourished about See also:loo B.C. After studying at See also:Alexandria, he travelled extensively and published the results of his investigations in a large See also:work on See also:general See also:geography (Ta 'yeaypadouµeva) in eleven books, much used by See also:Strabo and others. The See also:original work is lost, but we possess many small fragments and larger fragments of an abridgment made by See also:Marcianus of Heracleia (5th See also:century), which contains the periplus of the Euxine and accounts of See also:Bithynia and See also:Paphlagonia.

(2) A soothsayer and interpreter of dreams, who flourished in the 2nd century A.D., during the reigns of See also:Hadrian and the Antonines. He called himself Daldianus from his See also:mother's birthplace, Daldis in See also:Lydia, in See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order to make its name known to the See also:world. His 'OvEtpoKp6TnKa, or See also:- INTERPRETATION (from Lat. interpretari, to expound, explain, inter pres, an agent, go-between, interpreter; inter, between, and the root pret-, possibly connected with that seen either in Greek 4 p4'ew, to speak, or irpa-rrecv, to do)
interpretation of dreams, was said to have been written by command of See also:Apollo Daldianus, whose initiated votary he was. It is in four books, with an appendix containing a collection of prophetic dreams which had been realized. The first three books, addressed to See also:Cassius See also:Maximus, a Phoenician rhetorician (perhaps identical with Maximus of See also:Tyre), treat of dreams and See also:divination generally; the fourth—with a reply to his critics—and the appendix are dedicated to his son, also named Artemidorus and an interpreter of dreams. Artemidorus boasts of the trouble expended on his work; he had read all the authorities on dreams, travelled extensively, and conversed with all who had studied the subject. The work is valuable as affording an insight into ancient superstitions.
According to Suidas, Artemidorus also wrote on See also:augurs and cheiromancy, but all trace of these See also:works is lost.
