Periklyne

First appearance and context

Periklyne is mentioned in The Dictionary as part of an entry on Kefedokhles. The entry notes that, in later life, he “turned up on the Periklyne,” and that several dialogs survive from his years there. It also recalls that Kefedokhles had earlier ties to the Halls of Orithena, underscoring the ambiguity over whether the later references concern the same person or a namesake.

Role and function

The text does not yet explain what kind of place Periklyne is. It is described only as something one can be “on,” and as a setting associated with the preservation of multiple dialogs from Kefedokhles’s later period. Beyond this, its nature, location, and ownership remain unspecified in the sources available so far.

Relationships and references

  • Closely associated with Kefedokhles, who is said to have spent “years on the Periklyne,” with several dialogs attributed to that time.
  • The Dictionary’s entry frames this period in contrast to Kefedokhles’s earlier “Peregrin” phase and his origins connected to the Halls of Orithena, while leaving open scholarly doubt about the individual’s identity.

Current status
