Notes:
c.200-118. See generally OCD4
Polybius(1). With the present entry cf.
Stephanus of
Byzantium, s.v. Megale polis.
[1] Lykortas, rather: see
Polybius 22.3.6, and copiously elsewhere.
[2] See already
pi 184. (This is Scipio Africanus the Younger = Scipio
Aemilianus.)
[3] Too early, even if we construe "he was born" rather than "he lived".
[4] Philip V (who was the father, not the son, of Perseus).
[5] This additional material, Adler reports, is added in the margin of ms A.
[6] cf.
pi 2108, and generally OCD4
Posidonius(1).
[7] cf.
sigma 1155.
