Date Geography of Pausanias Periegesis
2025-12-23
We assigned a narrative location to each of the 3170 paragraphs of the text of Pausanias, along with a notional date, one day per paragraph, between 160 and 175 CE. This allows us to visualize fairly neatly Pausanias’ track through Greece on the map above, or download the coordinates from the list below. Both are filterable.
Or, view an animation of that track on our Nodegoat public instance at nodegoat.abm.uu.se/viewer.p/5/4263/scenario/6/geo/ [once in Nodegoat, select the speed, e.g. 1 month for slow, one year for fast, on the time slider at the bottom of the map, and click the play arrow].
Pagination, Searching and Sorting the Table
- Pagination is automatically applied to all tables with more than 200 rows, by 200 rows per page.
- You can navigate to the Next or Previous page by clicking on the left or right arrow or jump to any page by clicking on its number. The open page automatically scrolls back to the first row.
- If you search or sort the table, pagination is regenerated and starts from the first page and first row.
- Sorting is alphabetic for all columns of the table except the column ps_Row, where sorting
is
numeric.
- Alphabetic sorting means that 10 comes before 2 in ascending ordering and 9 before 10 in descending.
- Column ps_Row is added automatically to enable return to the initial table ordering. It is included when you print/export Visible Table Rows, but excluded when you download Filtered or Source Data.
- Click on ps_Row to return to the initial ordering of the table.
- Clicking on the same column alternates the sorting order between ascending and descending order.
- Sorting is applied to the entire table, not only to the currently visible page, and generates each time a new pagination, with the visible part of the table displaying the first page and scrolling up to the first row.
- If you have active searching results, sorting is applied only to these results, keeping your filtering of the data.
- Sorting also includes invisible text, like the URL and the Title of Links. In columns that
include
texts both with links and without links, the two sets of texts are sorted separately, as linked
texts start with the HTML element
a.
- Searching is also applied to the entire table, not only to the currently visible page.
- Searching also includes non-visible text, so you might get some non-expected results (if you search for HTTP you will get all links).
- Click on Clear to remove the searching text, restore the initial state of the table and return to the first page.
- If you have sorted the results of searching, sorting is still active even after cleaning the search. Click in that case on the column ps_Row to restore the initial order of the table.
Differences between the Total Rows of the table and the total number of data entries in Last Data can occur for two reasons:
For maps with only Markers, the difference is caused by imperfect CSV rows, which appear in the table but are skipped on the map. For example, rows with missing Latitude and Longitude values.
For maps with Lines and Polygons, the differences is also caused by the merging of identical geometries. Instead of stacking duplicates, the system combines them to a singe geometry. For example, multiple rows referring to different book sections or time periods but contain lines or polygons with identical coordinates. Popup in that case includes information only from the first row.
