[2] A grammatically incorrect version of what is also found in
xi 48: Parysatis, the mother of Artaxerxes IV and Cyrus the Younger (
pi 742), saves Cyrus from execution at his brother's hands. The source is unidentifiable. Here Parysatis also preserves Cyrus' position as satrap (
satrapei/an); in
xi 48 she preserves his command of an army (
stratei/an); cf.
Xenophon,
Anabasis 1.1.3 (web address 1).
[3] There are two figures attested with the name Derketaios: a bodyguard of Marcus Antonius who brought news of Antonius' death to Caesar (
Plutarch,
Antonius 78), and a subordinate of Semiramis at
sigma 220. The second of these is the one relevant here, according to Favuzzi [below], who connects this entry with
omega 91 (q.v.).
