[2] It has been argued that there was no historian of this name from
Tabai, the writings credited to him here belonging to Marsyas of
Philippi (
mu 228). See Laqueur col.1999, who associated the present Marsyas with the priest of Heracles mentioned by
Athenaeus,
Deipnosophists 11.467C (11.31 Kaibel). Heckel [below] p.450, however, has urged caution and is inclined to accept the text of the Suda without alteration.
