Notes:
See generally RE Iason(12) and esp. Jacoby at FGrH 94. Jacoby declines to identify this work with the 4-volume
Life of Greece credited to Jason of
Nysa in the preceding lemma (
iota 52). He also argues that a late grammarian and a much earlier historian - whose quadripartite period of coverage, as we are told, did not extend beyond 322 BC - have been conflated here.
