Philo of Byzantium (the Paradoxographer)

node

The author to whom the short treatise De septem mundi miraculis, On the Seven Wonders, is ascribed. He is not the third-century BCE engineer Philo Mechanicus with whom he is persistently confused; on linguistic grounds, including a rigorous avoidance of hiatus noted by Hermann von Rohden, he is placed somewhere between the fourth and sixth centuries CE. The treatise survives in a single ninth-century manuscript, Heidelberg Palatinus graecus 398, where the ascription appears. It is the fullest ancient description of the wonders as a set, and it was written centuries after most of them had already been ruined.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
