The dedication of the poetical description of the earth which passes under the name of Scymnus is remarkable in reference to those relations.
Tartessus has been regarded by some as properly the name of a country rather than a town; but the statements of the Greek and Roman geographers to the contrary are too positive to be disregarded. Tartessus was a town in the opinions of Scymnus Chius, Strabo, Mela, Pliny, Festus Avienus, and Pausanias, who could not be, all of them, mistaken on such a point.
The flower was the ancient Gades, the modern Cadiz. The Phoenician occupation of the site is witnessed to by Strabo, Diodorus, Scymnus Chius, Mela, Pliny, Velleius Paterculus, AElian and Arrian, and is further evidenced by the numerous coins which bear the legend of "Agadir" in Phoenician characters. But the place itself retains no traces of the Phoenician occupation.
It was a town named from, or at any rate bearing the same name with, an important river of southern Spain, probably the Guadalquivir. It was not Gades, for Scymnus Chius mentions both cities as existing in his day; it was not Carteia, for it lay west of Gades, while Carteia lay east.
