Leader, because of his labours and success, and that of Heraclea to the city Carteia which he built.  So Strabo:  [107] [Greek:  Ekpleousin oun ek tes hemeteras thalattes eis ten exo, dexion esti touto; kai pros auto Kalpe [Karteia]] [108] [Greek:  polis en tettarakonta stadiois axiologos kai palaia, naustathmon pote genomene ton Iberon; enioi de kai Erakleous ktisma legousin auten, hon esti kai Timosthenes; hos Phesi kai Erakleian onomazesthai to palaion; deiknysthai te megan peribolon, kai neosoikous.] Mons Calpe ad dextram est e nostro mari foras navigantibus, & ad quadraginta inde stadia urbs Carteia vetusta ac memorabilis, olim statio navibus Hispanorum.  Hanc ab Hercule quidam conditam aiunt, inter quos est Timosthenes, qui eam antiquitus Heracleam fuisse appellatam refert, ostendique adhuc magnum murorum circuitum & navalia. This Hercules, in memory of his building and Reigning over the City Carteia, they called also Melcartus, the King of Carteia. Bochart [109] writes, that Carteia was at first called Melcarteia, from its founder Melcartus, and by an Aphaeresis, Carteia; and that Melcartus signifies Melec Kartha, the King of the city, that is, saith he, of the city Tyre:  but considering that no ancient Author tells us, that Carteia was ever called Melcarteia, or that Melcartus was King of Tyre; I had rather say that Melcartus, or Melecartus, had his name from being the Founder and Governor or Prince of the city Carteia.  Under Melcartus the Tyrians sailed as far as Tartessus or Tarshish, a place in the Western part of Spain, between the two mouths of the river Boetis, and there they [110] met with much silver, which they purchased for trifles:  they sailed also as far as Britain before the death of Melcartus; for [111] Pliny tells us, Plumbum ex Cassiteride insula primus apportavit Midacritus:  And Bochart [112] observes that Midacritus is a Greek name corruptly written for Melcartus; Britain being unknown to the Greeks long after it was discovered by the Phoenicians.  After the death of Melcartus, they [113] built a Temple to him in the Island Gades, and adorned it with the sculptures of the labours of Hercules, and of his Hydra, and the Horses to whom he threw Diomedes, King of the Bistones in Thrace, to be devoured.  In this Temple was the golden Belt of Teucer, and the golden Olive of Pygmalion bearing Smaragdine fruit:  and by these consecrated gifts of Teucer and Pygmalion, you may know that it was built in their days. Pomponius derives it from the times of the Trojan war; for Teucer, seven years after that war, according to the Marbles, arrived at Cyprus, being banished
