Author:
Period covered:
Unknown
Language:
Greek
State of Preservation:
Fragmentary
Genre:
  • Secular history (patria)
Remarks:
The work was written in iambic meter. According to Keydell (1936: 465-467), a cosmological fragment found in P. Strasburg inv. 481 by Reitzenstein (1901) belongs to Hermias' Patria (cf. Anonymous, Patria of Hermopolis). This is unlikely.
