Notes:
The headword, a collective feminine noun in the nominative (and vocative) singular, literally means
a cutting all round, and thus
a mutilation. But in
Polybius the sense is more usually the
outline, general form or the
effects, appointments of a person or thing; see generally LSJ s.v. and
pi 1187. The entry is presumably generated by the instances given, which are the accusative and genitive singular forms, respectively.

Polybius 31.26.6 (web address 1). It describes the transfer of the substantial personal appointments of Aemilia Tertia (d. 163/2; cf.
alphaiota 198,
alpha 3167, and
pi 1295), wife of Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus (236-183; OCD(4) s.v.;
pi 2054; Walbank, vol. II, pp. 191ff.), on her death, by her nephew (and grandson by adoption) Publius Cornelius Scipio
Aemilianus Africanus (185/4-129; OCD(4) s.v.;
alphaiota 199) to
his mother Papiria, not Aemilia's mother as the present excerpt indicates; see Walbank, vol. III, pp. 503-5; Büttner-Wobst, p. 351; and
Diodorus Siculus 31.27.3.

Polybius fr. 198 (Büttner-Wobst). Büttner-Wobst (p. 540) notes that Schweighäuser doubted the attribution of this unplaced fragment to
Polybius.
