has gloss | eng: Maës Titianus was an ancient traveller of Hellenistic culture who is recorded as having travelled farthest along the Silk Road from the Mediterranean world. In the early second century CE or at the end of the first century BCE, during a lull in the intermittent Roman struggles with Parthia, his party reached the famous Stone Tower, Tashkurgan, in the Pamirs. Nothing is known of him, apart from a brief credit in Ptolemy's Geography, 1.11.7, whose knowledge of Maës was gained through an intermediary source, Marinus of Tyre: |

C., durante una pausa en las luchas intermitentes entre Roma y Partia, su grupo llegó a la famosa Torre de Piedra o Tashkurgán, en la Cordillera del Pamir. No se conoce nada de él, fuera de una breve acreditación en la Geographia de Claudio Ptolomeo, cuyo conocimiento sobre Maës fue obtenido por medio de una fuente intermedia, Marino de Tiro: |
