Notes:
[1] The entry conflates material about the historian Philistos (sic) of Syracuse (see already
phi 361) with a later, Egyptian-Greek namesake, who is FGrH 615.
[2] The best-known
Threeheaded Book is the one allegedly written as an attack on
Sparta,
Athens and
Thebes by
Anaximenes of
Lampsakos (
alpha 1989), imitating the manner of Theopompos (
theta 172): see
Pausanias 6.18.5, etc.; the present specimen must be analogous but different.
