Notes on the current edition

Histories

1. The Sea of Azov . It is not clear where the τάφρος was. Some think that Herodotus may have had in his mind the so-called “ Putrid Sea,” the narrow stretch of water between the Arabat isthmus and the +Krym [34,45] (autonomous republic), Ukraine, Europe Crimea . This at least corresponds with the “point of greatest breadth” of the Sea of +Azov [39.433,47.1] (inhabited place), Rostov, Rossiya, Russia, Asia Azov .
