Supplementum Hellenisticum (Berlin 1983) 81-82.
[1] a.k.a. Alexander the Great (
alpha 1121). [Note, however, the odd phraseology here, including the preposition
kata/. Adler's note cites the proposal of 'Dr.' (A.B. Drachmann, 1860-1935) to read
peri\ tou= *make/donos, followed by

[2] Three kings of this name ruled Pergamum between 241 and 133. Whichever of them is meant, the man who paraphrased Vergil must obviously be later.
