[2] Arrian, Parthica fr. 29 Roos; more fully under tau 947.
[3] Quotation (with infinitive, probably in indirect discourse) unidentifiable. (Gaisford attributed it to Aelian.)
[4] Quotation unidentifiable; transmitted (like the previous two quotations) via the Excerpta made for Constantine Porphyrogenitus.
