Notes:
[1] [
Polybius] fr. 140 Büttner-Wobst. In fact, as a TLG search shows, a clumsy abridgement of
Josephus,
Jewish War 6.150. Büttner-Wobst notes (532) that Valesius (Henri de Valois 1603-1676) attributed this fragment to
Polybius. However, this attribution was rejected by Schweighäuser, with whom Büttner-Wobst remains in agreement (ibid.).
