[1] a.k.a. Alexander the Great (alpha 1121). [Note, however, the odd phraseology here, including the preposition kata/. Adler's note cites the proposal of 'Dr.' (A.B. Drachmann, 1860-1935) to read peri\ tou= *make/donos, followed by kata\ th\n *)ilia/da.]
[2] Three kings of this name ruled Pergamum between 241 and 133. Whichever of them is meant, the man who paraphrased Vergil must obviously be later.
