ΚΕΦ. ΙΑ´· Γερμανίας Μεγάλης θέσις (Εὐρώπης πίναξ δ´)
CAP. XI: Germaniae magnae situs (Europae tabula quarta)
Book II, Chapter 10: Greater Germany (Fourth Map of Europe)


[image ALT: A schematic map of ancient Germany according to Ptolemy; it is indexed in the text of this webpage.]

My notes on the map:

No information has been added to Ptolemy's text as I have it: there is no topographic data and the courses of the rivers remain unmapped.

Τῆς Γερμανίας τὴν μὲν δυσμικὴν πλευρὰν ἀφορίζει ὁ Ῥῆνος ποταμὸς, τὴν δὲ ἀρκτικὴν ὁ Γερμανικὸς Ὠκεανὸς, ἧς ἡ περιγραφὴ ἔχει οὕτως.

Μετὰ τὰς τοῦ Ῥήνου ποταμοῦ ἐκβολὰς

Germaniae latus occidentale Rhenus fluvius terminat, septentrionale vero Germanicus Oceanus, cuius lateris descriptio haec est.

Post Rheni fluvii ostia

The western boundary of Germany is the river Rhine, and its northern boundary is the Germanic Ocean, of the shore of which the following is a description.

After the mouths of the Rhine river:

Those that inhabit Germany on the other side of the river Rhine, if we go towards the north, are the Bructeri minores and the Sygambri, below whom the Suevi Langobardi; then the Tencteri and the Incriones between the Rhine and the Abnobaei mountains; and then the Intuergi and the Vargiones and the Caritni, below whom the Vispi and the Desert of the Helvetii until those mountains we referred to as the Alps.

Of the people of the interior and those wo live inland the most important are the Suevi Angili, who are to the east of the Langobardi extending towards the north and up to the central part of the Albis river, and the Suevi Semnones, whose boundaries beyond the Albis extend from the area we mentioned towards the east up to the Suevus river, and the Burguntae, who inhabit from there to the Vistula.
