f which he had spent
as ruler twenty-two years, seven months and seven days. A public funeral
was accorded him and a eulogy, delivered by Gaius.
[Footnote 1: Supplying here (as did Sylburgius, to fill a gap in the
sense) ... [GREEK: echeleuse chahi tae boulae]....]
[Footnote 2: The consul of A.D. 30, either _C. Cassius Longinus_ or his
brother _L. Cassius Longinus_.]
[Footnote 3: A gap in the MS. exists, as indicated.]
[Footnote 4: A corrupt reading for which no wholly satisfactory
substitute has been offered.]
[Footnote 5: The predicate of this clause has fallen out in the MS., and
the restoration is on lines suggested by Bekker.]
[Footnote 6: Reading (with Mommsen) [Greek: outo] for [Greek: auto].]
[Footnote 7: Reading [Greek: aedae polu] (Stephanus, Boissevain).]
[Footnote 8: Using Boissevain's reading [Greek: adikousaes] (from Reiske)
in preference to the MS. [Greek: diadikousaes].]
[Footnote 9: A small gap. The text filled and context amended by Kuiper.]
[Footnote 10: Evidently the previous reference was in a passage now lost,
between Bk. 57, ch. 17, sect. 8, and Bk. 58, ch. 7, sect. 2 of the Codex
Marcianus (Boissevain).]
[Footnote 11: Compare Book Fifty-seven, chapter eight.]
[Footnote 12: Caesianus and Caesiani are conjectures of Boissevain, the MS.
being corrupt. The person meant is _L. Apronius Caesianus_ (consul A.D.
39).]
[Footnote 13: A correction of Casaubon's for "the army" (MS.), which
seems senseless.]
[Footnote 14: The phrase yields no particular sense and is probably
corrupt, but a correction is not easy. "To state his reasons" has been
suggested; and a very slight change in the Greek produces "to eat
something" another conjecture.]
[Footnote 15: Probably from the _Bellerophon_ of Euripides.]
[Footnote 16: Compare Euripides, Phoenician Maidens, verse 393.]
[Footnote 17: Dio is in error. The date was really about ten days
earlier.]
