Sometimes attributed to Menander Protector, but not accepted as such in the standard modern edition by R.C. Blockley; cf. beta 508.
[1] If 'by the Hellespont' is precise, this place is unknown; if it is imprecise, either the Thracian Bosporos (between the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmora) or the Cimmerian Bosporos (between the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov) is meant; cf. beta 402.
[2] Some would change 'Justinian' to 'Justin' here.
