Raisya kindly sent us Strabo and said:

The poem was quite lovely. I'm somewhat suprised that with its
limited availability, a company like Dover hasn't made an effort
to put out a facscimile addition.

There was a thread on the SCA Scribes list talking about which
primary (or near primary) sources people had in their libraries.
Does anyone actually have a copy of Strabo in their library? I
know I don't. And in fact, when it comes right down to it, my
period references are rather slim.
