Pseudo-Plutarch About Rivers and Mountains and Things Found in Them [De fluviis], Trans. T. Banchich et al, Buffalo NY: Canisius College, 2010.
From the Introduction:
"Hardly anyone today would accept De fluviis at face value as a sincere exposition, whether in its complete form or as an epitome of a now-lost original, of actual traditions about the naming of rivers and mountains and of descriptions of odd, but genuine flora, fauna, and stones. Likewise, few would view the form and content of De fluviis as a veil meant to obscure esoteric, hermetic doctrines. Rather, most scholars now see it as example of paradoxography—albeit concocted from an unusual mixture of ingredients—or as a parody of that genre." -
