Aelian fr. 55a Domingo-Forasté (52 Hercher). For Jason (Iason), tyrant of Thessalian
Pherai in the first half of the C4 BCE, see generally OCD(4) s.v. Jason(2). (He does not have his own Suda entry, unless
iota 49 was intended to be one.) As Westlake 98-99 notes, the notion that Jason was planning to seize the Delphic treasures, treated with proper caution in
Xenophon (
Hellenica 6.4.30), has by
Aelian's time come to be established fact.
H.D. Westlake, Thessaly in the Fourth Century BC (London 1935)
