Adler number: alpha,3968
Translated headword: Harmatios, Harmatius
Vetting Status: high
Translation: This man had very great influence on Zenonis the empress[1] and on Basiliscus himself.[2] He was killed by the emperor
Zeno[3] and the citizens were overjoyed at the slaughter of this man. For in the time of emperor Leo,[4] he cut off the hands of whatever Thracians he caught and sent them to the rebels. But Onooulphos[5] killed him, a poor man who when he had come recently from the barbarians Hamartius had welcomed and first made a count, then the general of the
Illyrians, and he readied a great deal of money to hold a banquet. But he repaid this man's barbaric disloyalty with a murderous hand.

*ai)mi/lios
Adler number: alphaiota,200
Translated headword: Aemilius
Vetting Status: high
Translation: The consul, who defeated Perseus the king of the Macedonians. He was a judicious man who knew how to handle good fortune and was self-sufficient. For he received the man along with his royal retinues and when he [Perseus] made to fall toward his knees, he [Aemilius] bade him rise and said, "my good man, why are you ruining my victory?" and he had him sit down beside him on a royal type of stool. He commanded that the Macedonians and Illyrians, now that they had been released from their previous servitude, were to be free and autonomous, and he ordered their league to render a small amount of tribute, one that was considerably less than what they previously paid to each other's kings. As a result everyone could agree that the Romans waged war more on account of the prior misdeeds against them than out of desire to obtain the Macedonian empire. In any case, Aemilius, in the hearing of all those present [many had gathered, and from many nations], revealed the decree of the Senate and declared that the men were free. He entertained the ambassadors of the Europeans who had come to him at great expense, considering the splendor of the banquet a point of honor. For in fact he used to say that those who prevailed in war also had the responsibility to prove themselves careful and ambitious in their preparations for banquets.

Lucius Aemilius Paullus. For Perseus, king of Macedonia 179-168 BCE, see generally
pi 1370,
pi 1391. The passage (John of
Antioch fr. 57 FHG, now 133.2 Roberto) refers to Paullus' defeat of Perseus at the battle of
Pydna, which ended the Third Macedonian War.

Translation: That which Trajan colonized in the regions on the other side of the Istrus.[1] And Aurelian abandoned this [region], once the region of the
Illyrians and the Mysians had become afflicted [sc. by the Goths], thinking that it would be impossible to save the [region], which was cut off on the other side in the midst of rivers. Therefore, leading away the Romans who had been settled there, out of the cities and the fields, he established them in the middle of
Mysia, having named the region "Dacia"; it now lies between the two Mysiae and divides them from one another.[2]

[1] Danube.
[2] Identified as an extract of the
Chronicle of John of
Antioch (fr. 237 Roberto = fr. 182 Mariev), who in turn drew on a Greek translation of Eutropius'
Breviarium (9.15.1-2).
The extract concerns the decision of the Roman emperor Aurelian (270-275) to abandon the three provinces of Dacia, which formed a large salient to the north of the Danube. Dacia had become increasingly isolated and untenable during the 260s owing to the large-scale inroads of the Goths and other Germanic peoples. At an indeterminable date Aurelian evacuated the civil and military administration, and at least part of the populace, south of the river to central Moesia, where he created a new province of Dacia Aureliana, with its capital at
Serdica (present-day Sofia), which lay between Moesia Superior and Moesia Inferior. The number and fate of the Romanised population remaining north of the Danube are disputed.
For Trajan see generally
tau 902; for Aurelian,
alpha 4458.
The toponym '
Mysia' correctly belonged to a region of north-western Asia Minor, but some Roman authors also applied this term to 'Moesia', the frontier provinces of the lower Danube; and cf. under
beta 495.

Vetting Status: high
Translation: A good and noble man. He ruled over Dalmatia, after the
Illyrians had settled in Epirus. He had had a Roman education and had become expert in divination as well as general culture. He held his authority independently, subject neither to the Roman empire nor to any other ruler of the nations; but he was autonomous, leading his subjects with justice. He had sufficient wisdom in government and marvelous courage well-tested in warfare.[1] The philosopher
Sallustius was at his court.[2]

The headword, presumably extracted from the quotation given, is the accusative singular of the noun
meri/ths,
partaker; see generally LSJ s.v., and cf.

Polybius 4.29.6 (web address 1), concerning the attack on the Achaean city of
Kynaitha (also
Cynaetha; Barrington Atlas map 58 grid C1; cf.
delta 833). In the summer of 220 BCE (Walbank, p. 325), the Aetolians and their allies, Illyrian raiders led by the Illyrian prince and privateer Scerdilaidas (later king of
Illyria from ca. 211; died ca. 205; OCD(4) s.v.; Wilkes, p. 170; and Edwards, et al., p. 475) overwhelmed and brutally sacked the city. Reneging on a prior agreement with Scerdilaidas, however, the Aetolians retained the impressive booty in its entirety. Chagrined at this betrayal and tempted later that winter by the promise of a twenty-talent yearly stipend (cf.
epsilon 3960 (end)), Scerdilaidas turned against the Aetolians and joined forces with Philip V of Macedon (238-179; OCD(4) s.v. Philip(3) and Walbank, p. 477).

Notes:
The Suda's 'Sir', otherwise unattested, is evidently a foreshortened version of Sirmion/Sirmium (present-day Sremska Mitrovica in
Serbia); Barrington Atlas map 21 grid B5.
[1] Originally settled by
Illyrians (and Celts). Contrast the characterisation in
Stephanus of
Byzantium s.v.: 'a city of [the] Paionians'. NF: it is only 'Illyrian' in the wider Roman usage of Illyricum, as it lay in the later province of Pannonia, among the lands of the Skordiskoi/Scordisci.
