Notes:
[1] A careless approximation of
Zosimus,
Historia nova 1.6.1, who merely places this discovery in the
time of Octavian/Augustus; see in context at
alpha 735. Also, the second of the pair of names should be Bathyllos.
[2] From
Athenaeus,
Deipnosophists 1.14D (1.25 Kaibel); cf.
omicron 670. See already at
alpha 1817, and again
sigma 1720.
