And so Dinias begins the narration of these things to an Arcadian named Cymbas, whom the Arcadian League sent to Tyre to ask that Dinias return to them and his homeland. Since the weight of old age prevented him from doing so, he is represented as recounting what he himself had seen during his wandering or what eyewitness accounts he had heard from others, and what he had learned from Dercyllis's account while on Thule, that is, her already reported journey, and how, after her ascent from Hades with Ceryllus and Astraeus, after she and her brother had already been separated from each other, they arrived at the tomb of the Siren; and what she previously heard from Astraeus, that is, his account of Pythagoras and Mnesarchus – which Astraeus himself heard from Philotis – and the wondrous spectacle relating to his eyes; and Dercyllis's account, when she resumed the story of her own journey, of how she came upon a city in Iberia whose inhabitants see by night but are afflicted by blindness during the day, and of what Astraeus did to their enemies there by playing his flute; and of how, released from there with good wishes, they encountered some Celts, a crude and stupid people, from whom they fled on horses; and of their adventures when the horses' skin changed color. Then they came to Aquitania, and Dinias recounts the esteem that Dercyllis and Ceryllus and above all Astraeus enjoyed there because the change in the size of the pupils of his eyes signaled the phases of the moon and because he released the kings there from strife over the right to rule; for being two in number, they took turns ruling in accordance with the condition of the moon; for these reasons, the people there rejoiced in Astraeus and his companions.
– Antonius Diogenes, from The Wonders Beyond Thule, written in Greek, 1st-2nd century AD. A detailed summary of the book was composed (also in Greek) in the 9th century by Photius, Patriarch of Constantinople. The original text by Antonius Diogenes was subsequently lost; only the summary by Photius has survived. This was translated into English by Gerald N. Sandy (1989).
