Tesserakonteres

Dears, excuse me I cannot write Greek. Question: in the antiquity there were reportedly several multi-hulled ships, for example this [[1]] "Tessarakonteres (Greek: τεσσαρακοντήρης, "forty-rowed"), or simply "forty" was a very large catamaran galley reportedly built in the Hellenistic period by Ptolemy IV Philopator of Egypt. It was described by a number of ancient sources, including a lost work by Callixenus of Rhodes and surviving texts by Athenaeus and Plutarch." Maybe you can expand your article with some information about these ancient Catamarans. By the way, is there in modern Greek any Greek word for this kind of ships? Maybe something like διπλόσκαφος or so. Ephcharistó parapolí. 2003:F5:6F10:0:B90E:425B:921F:8266 09:47, 9 Ιουνίου 2020 (UTC) Marco PB
