delta 519.
[2] John of
Antioch fr.52 FHG (4.557), now 118 Roberto (190-191); the only one of the many quotations from him in the Suda which is expressly attributed to him. (See already under
alpha 1528, though unattributed there and with an inferior text.) The unnamed subject of the sentence is presumably Q. Fabius
Maximus 'Cunctator'; cf.
alpha 971,
chi 240. On Hannibal, see generally
alpha 2452.
