[1] cf. delta 20, theta 438.
[2] For 'Pr(o)usias' (the name of two successive kings of Bithynia ) cf. alpha 1333, alpha 3415, delta 926, epsilon 1529, etc. The present quotation -- its meaning less than pellucid -- was left unidentified by Adler, but latterly Favuzzi [see under alpha 1596] 205 finds vocabulary-based grounds for assigning both it and kappa 1571 (q.v.) to Polybius.
