Notes
- In the late third century BCE. He is mentioned for dating purposes by Polybius 5.91.1 (web address 1) -- and may also be the Hagetas on an inscription of the time: so F.W. Walbank, A Historical Commmentary on Polybius vol.I (Oxford 1957 and reprints) 622.
"Strategus" was a title of chief magistrates in various Greek cities: see LSJ s.v. A.II.2.
