Hesychius (tau466) and
scholia on
Plato (
Timaeus 25D) Apollonius Rhodius (
Argonautica 4.1237), and Gregory of Nazianzus (PG 36.1249c;

Polybius 1.75.8-9, on Hamilcar (
alpha 1596) in the Carthaginian Mercenary War (241 BCE). The name of the river is inserted here from 1.75.5, where it is given as the Makaras. It is best known, in fact, as the Bagradas. See also
beta 421.
