Strabo as a historian: since his Historia is lost, it can't be genuinely useful to the reader to place him in the category "Roman era historians". unless the point is simply to fill the category with as many names as possible. --Wetman 20:42, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
But perhaps it's worth listing even a historian whose work is mostly lost, especially when geographical writing often verges onto the historical and given that Strabo quotes or repeats material from his histories in his geography. The entry in say the oxford classical dictionary will defintiely have something to say about him as historian. (Though maybe that's only because classicists thrive on writing about texts which are not extant.) Flounderer 04:59, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
