Notes:
This information pertains to Ephoros of
Kyme, FGrH 70 T1 (see
epsilon 3953, cf. 3952). There was, admittedly, a C4 BC historian called Ephippos, son of Khalkideus, of
Olynthus (FGrH 126); he is mentioned in Alexander's entourage in Egypt (Arrian,
Anabasis 3.5.3), and he was author of a work on the deaths of Hephaistion and Alexander the Great; see in brief OCD(4) p.509, '
Ephippus(2)'. Nevertheless "Ephippos" as the headword of the present entry is simply taken over in error from the preceding one (
epsilon 3929, on Ephippos the comic poet).
[1] In Asia Minor;
kappa 2685.
[2] 408-405.
[3] The
Inventions was significant enough to be mentioned (together with the big
History) by
Strabo 13.3.6.
