Notes:
C3 BCE. OCD4
Phylarchus; FGrH 81 (where this Suda entry is T1).
[1] cf.
Athenaeus,
Deipnosophists 2.58C (2.51 Kaibel). (For
Naukratis, see
nu 58.)
[2]
Ptolemy III Euergetes. See further, next note.
[3] The point being made is that this 28-volume work with a title -- if such it was -- referring to an event of 272 BCE in fact began then and covered the following 52 years.
Ptolemy III and his wife Berenike died in 221/0, and the Spartan king Kleomenes III (sic: not the Suda's 'Kleonymos') the following year. On Antigonos Doson (and Kleomenes) see
alpha 2659.
[4] The Greek word, here in the genitive plual, is
parembasis, for which there is no parallel;
embasis has a semantic field centred upon entrance, embarcation, etc. LSJ Supp. suggests the alternative
parekba/sewn (credited to Sevin by Jacoby);
parekbasis means a going aside or deviation. On the basis of
Polybius 1.15.13, etc., the sense of 'digression' seems suitable here.
