H. gives a specimen of what in his opinion geography should be: (1) He describes the distribution of peoples in West Asia (cc. 37-40). He has been criticized for making no reference to the numerous tribes mentioned, iii. 90 seq.; but this would have been quite out of place in a general sketch. (2) He then gives the boundaries of the continents (cc. 41-5), and discusses the division. In this part he gives an account of three great voyages, undertaken to settle definitely the boundaries of Asia and Africa. (For H.'s geography cf. App. XIII.)
