Dio's Rome Volume IV Part 22

[Footnote 8: This is an error. Mithridates of Bosporus is the person actually meant.]

[Footnotes 9: These two quotations are to be found in k.o.c.k (_Fragmenta Comicorum Graecorum_) Vol. III, p. 499. They are Nos. 487 and 488 of the [Greek: Adespota Opoteras]. k.o.c.k sees no reason for a.s.signing them specifically to the New Comedy (as Meineke has done).]

[Footnote 10: For a further discussion of this isolated statement (from Suidas) see Mommsen, _Staatsrecht_, III, p. 912, note 1.]

[Footnote 11: From an examination of Suetonius, Life of Claudius, chapter 25, it seems likely that Dio wrote "cities" (plural), referring to all the Italian towns.]

[Footnote 12: "Of charioteers" is undoubtedly the sense.]

[Footnote 13: The same _locus Fucinus_ that is presently mentioned again.]

[Footnote 14: "Hail, emperor, we about to die salute thee."]

[Footnote 15: This verb is a mere conjecture by one of the editors. The MS. reading, "he had hoped," is, of course, corrupt.]

[Footnote 16: Dio probably says "called" here because the Greek word he uses for "mushrooms" has many other meanings, such as snuff of a wick, scab, k.n.o.b, etc.]
