Kitap 4
14.1
Where Aristeas who wrote this came from, I have already said; I will tell the story that I heard about him at +Marmara Adasi [27.616,40.633] (island), Balikesir, Marmara, Turkey, Asia Proconnesus and +Cyzicus [27.9,40.4167] (Perseus) Cyzicus . It is said that this Aristeas, who was as well-born as any of his townsfolk, went into a fuller's shop at +Marmara Adasi [27.616,40.633] (island), Balikesir, Marmara, Turkey, Asia Proconnesus and there died; the owner shut his shop and went away to tell the dead man's relatives,

and the report of Aristeas' death being spread about in the city was disputed by a man of +Cyzicus [27.9,40.4167] (Perseus) Cyzicus , who had come from the town of Artace,A Milesian colony, the port of +Cyzicus [27.9,40.4167] (Perseus) Cyzicus . and said that he had met Aristeas going toward +Cyzicus [27.9,40.4167] (Perseus) Cyzicus and spoken with him. While he argued vehemently, the relatives of the dead man came to the fuller's shop with all that was necessary for burial;

but when the place was opened, there was no Aristeas there, dead or alive. But in the seventh year after that, Aristeas appeared at +Marmara Adasi [27.616,40.633] (island), Balikesir, Marmara, Turkey, Asia Proconnesus and made that poem which the Greeks now call the Arimaspea, after which he vanished once again.
