[Footnote 5: Dio seems here to be imitating, in his phraseology, Thukydides (VII, 25). The proper reading is [Greek: peri herma] (two words), not [Greek: perierma] as in some of the MSS.] [Footnote 6: Dindorf's reading (Greek: _gunaichon te ton prosaechouson autois_).] [Footnote 7: Compare Suetonius, _Augustus_, chapter 37. In practice there were six of them,--three to nominate senators, and three to make a review of the knights.] [Footnote 8: Here some words have evidently fallen out of the text.] [Footnote 9: Reading [Greek: hapo] with Dindorf.] [Footnote 10: Reading [Greek: archousi] (MSS. and Boissevain) instead of [Greek: archomenois] (Xylander).] [Footnote 11: Adopting Boissevain's reading (Greek: diagein estai).] [Footnote 12: A reference particularly to the ludi Capitolini, founded by Domitian.] [Footnote 13: Latin, _præfectus annonæ_.] [Footnote 14: Latin, _præfectus vigilum_.] |
