All these things Dinias heard from Dercyllis on Thule, and he is presented reporting them to the Arcadian Cymbas. Next comes how Paapis followed the route of Dercyllis and her companions, overtook them on the island, and by means of magic imposed on them that affliction of being dead during the day and coming back to life at nightfall. He imposed the affliction on them by spitting openly in the faces of the pair. A person of Thule named Thruscanus, being ardently in love with Dercyllis and grieving to see his beloved stricken down as a consequence of the affliction caused by Paapis, struck him instantly with his sword and immediately killed him, thereby managing to bring to an end the countless difficulties. And Thruscanus, since Dercyllis appeared to be lying dead, killed himself over her corpse.
All these things and many more like them – their burial and return from the grave, Mantinias's love affairs and their consequences, and other similar events on the island of Thule – Dinias is presented recounting one after the other on the authority of Dercyllis for the Arcadian Cymbas. And the twenty-third book of Antonius Diogenes' The Wonders Beyond Thule comes to an end, without, however, hinting at anything concerning Thule except for the short notice at the beginning.
– 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).
