Nomenclature
- Hecataeus (c. 550 BC–c. 476 BC), was a Greek philosopher. He flourished during the time of the Persian invasion. After having travelled extensively, he devoted his time to the composition of geographical and historical works.
- Crater Hecataeus B was called Antoniadi by Wilkins and Moore, but the IAU did not accept this name. Instead, the official name Antoniadi went to a crater on the moon's far side.
- Crater Hecataeus D was called Raurich by Hugh Percy Wilkins and Antonio Paluzie-Borrell, but the IAU did not accept this name.
- Salvador Raurich Ferriol was a Spanish astronomer (1868-1949).
