It's artificial and against at least the conventions of a classical encylopedia to treat the author and his single surviving work and testimony to his life separately. In fact, the Artemidorus article is better and covers exactly the same ground. This article is worse. I've removed the worst parts--such as the constant misunderstanding of how ancient texts were and were not organized. And I took the "editions" section and replaced it with the editions section of Artemidorus, which actually lists editions, not a single English translation.

I suggest we delete this and combine with Artemidorus anything worth saving.
