A neglected, anonymous and undated epigram on the world map of Ptolemy's Geography, here critically edited for the first time from all existing manuscripts, proves a rare case of reception of Callimachus' Lock of Berenice, with an emphasis on the mutual bonds between geography and astronomy, and with the so-called 'geographical astrology'. It may stem from Late Antique Alexandria.

Abstract
A neglected, anonymous and undated epigram on the world map of Ptolemy's Geography, here critically edited for the first time from all existing manuscripts, proves a rare case of reception of Callimachus' Lock of Berenice, with an emphasis on the mutual bonds between geography and astronomy, and with the so-called 'geographical astrology'. It may stem from Late Antique Alexandria.
