Massaliote Periplus

The Massaliote Periplus or Massiliote Periplus is a theoretical reconstruction of a sixth-century BC periplus, or sailing manual, proposed by historian Adolf Schulten.[1][2][3]

Schulten believed a Massiliote Periplus had been versified in the lines of the Ora Maritima by Avienius. Schulten dated it to the 6th century BC. It describes a voyage from Oestriminis, modern Pointe du Raz, to Massalia, modern Marseille. Its existence has been denied by other scholars.
