Notes:
See generally RE Iason(11). Gercke (1907) points out that the father cannot be the grammarian
Menecrates of

Strabo (14.1.48), though he is presumably a member of the same family (on which see also Heath [1998]).

Posidonius.
[3] The next lemma (
iota 53) credits a historian and scholar called Jason of Argos [
Myth,

Life of Greece to Jason of
Nysa as uncertain. See further under
iota 53.
