The twenty-fourth book present Azoulis as narrator and then Dinias adding Azoulis's stories to the tales he has already told Cymbas. We learn how Azoulis discovered the method of enchantment whereby Paapis had employed his magic to cause Dercyllis and Mantinias to come to life at night but during the day to be corpses, and how he freed them from the affliction when he found the secret of the punishment inflicted, and also the antidote to it, in Paapis's bag, which Mantinias and Dercyllis had brought with them. He also discovered how Dercyllis and Mantinias should free their parents from the great curse to which they had fallen victim. On the advice of Paapis, who led them to believe that they would be acting for their parents' good, they themselves had injured their parents grievously by causing them to lie like corpses for a long time.
Then Dercyllis and Mantinias hurried home to revive and save their parents. Dinias, along with Carmanes and Meniscus – for Azoulis had separated from them – extended their journey beyond Thule. This is the journey in which he saw the wonders beyond Thule, according to the report he is now presented as making to Cymbas. He says he saw things that enthusiasts of stargazing maintain, such as that it is possible for some people to live at the North Pole, and that a night there lasts a month, sometimes less, sometimes more, or six months, or in the extreme case twelve months, and not only is night drawn out to such an extent, but days correspond in duration to the nights.
– 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).
