Notes:
[1] RE Kastor(8); OCD4 Castor of Rhodes; FGrH 250. The main paragraph of the present entry has already appeared, out of alphabetical order, as kappa 402.
[2] The historian has been conflated with the Galatian ruler Castor, on whom see Strabo 12.5.3; Cicero, Pro Rege Deiotaro. (On Deiotarus himself see OCD4 s.v.)
[3] delta 1209.
