Cadmeia), Kaine polis (New City), Kakkabē, ...+2 more">Carthage: a metropolis of Libya, a most renowned city. But Chalcedon in Bithynia is spelled with lambda-kappa (λκ), [and is so called] from Carchedon, a Phoenician. It was also called New City and Cadmeia and Oinousa and Kakkabē; and in their native tongue this denotes “a horse’s head.” There is also another Carchedon, a city of Iberia, and it too was called New City. There is also a Carchedon of Armenia, as Eutropius says. The citizen is “Carchedonian.” Among them were the wise Mago and Cleitomachus son of Diognetus—who was called Hasdrubas—an Academic philosopher, successor to the school of Carneades of Cyrene; he came to Athens at the age of twenty-eight, lacking even the first elements [of learning], and while learning these he attended the lectures of Carneades.
