# Scylax of Caryanda

> Scylax of Caryanda was a Greek explorer and writer of the Achaemenid Empire during the late 6th and early 5th centuries BCE. His writings are lost, though occasionally they are cited or quoted by later Greek and Roman authors. The periplus sometimes referred to as the Periplus of Scylax is, in fact, not written by him. More accurately called the Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax, it was written in about the early 330s BCE by an unknown author working in the ambit of the post-Platonic Academy or the Aristotelian Peripatos (Lyceum) at Athens.
