We believe that one of the fields of scientific inquiry for philosophers is geographic science, just like any other science. At this stage, we have chosen geographic science as the subject of systematic research. The correctness of our opinion is confirmed by many facts.
Philosophers, in a way, were the first to have the courage to engage with it, such as Homer, Anaximander of Miletus, and his fellow citizen Hecataeus, as noted by Eratosthenes; also Democritus, Eudoxus, Dicaearchus, Ephorus, and many others. Even those who succeeded them, such as Eratosthenes, Polybius, and Posidonius, were also philosophers.
The erudition, which is the necessary and sufficient condition for someone to adequately approach this very work (geography), characterizes no one but those who can accurately observe matters concerning gods and humans, and the knowledge of these very things constitutes, they say, philosophy.
