Suidas, Chrysogonus Polydorus, and Geber

Meaning

Suïdas is cited through Crisogone Polidore’s preface to the works of Geber as testimony for the Jason-and-Medea interpretation. This is a chain of reported authority, not a direct quotation from Geber. Nuysement subsequently disputes Pollidore’s account of the vessel in the dragon’s-teeth episode, showing that citation does not imply agreement in every detail. The printed name forms Polidore and Pollidore should remain retrievable while their local roles are distinguished. The source supplies neither a precise edition nor sufficient evidence to certify the entire attribution independently.
