grbs-361	Shcheglov, Dmitriy A.	Hipparchus on the Latitude of Southern India	2005	22	.pdf	application/pdf	7989	350	63	Hipparchus criticized Eratosthenes’ opinion on this point but, Strabo asserts, fell into the still greater error of bringing northern India to a latitude above Ireland (54°) and placing southern India farther north than 16º50′. The re-examination of his testimony offered in this paper shows that his account of Hipparchus’ reasoning is wholly misleading, and that in fact Hipparchus argued that the northern frontier of India lies to the north of Athens, but not so far as Strabo claims, while southern India should be placed not to the north of Meroe (16º50′), as Strabo asserts, but to the south of 122/5º.	cache/grbs-361.pdf	txt/grbs-361.txt
