Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἐπιγράφων· δοτικῇ. ἀντὶ τοῦ βεβαιῶν, διϊσχυριζόμενος. ὁ δὲ Ψευδοφίλιππος ἐπέγραφεν ἑαυτῷ Φίλιππον τὸν Μακεδόνα· ἀντὶ τοῦ ἡγησάμενον.

Notes (3)

cf. epsilon 2026, epsilon 2272, epsilon 2274.
1The headword is present participle, masculine nominative singular, of this verb. It must be quoted from somewhere (other than the quotation given here, which has the imperfect e)pe/grafen); there are numerous possibilities. ↩
2For this pretender, a.k.a. Andriscus, of the mid-second century BCE, see Polybius 36.9.1-2, 36.10.2, 36.17.13; Diodorus Siculus 32.15 (and 32.9ab). Valckenaer (as Adler notes) attributed the present quotation to Polybius, but Diodorus would be equally likely. (See also Appian, Libyca 643; Strabo 71.1.48, 13.4.2.) In any event Andriscus, who claimed to be a son of Perseus (pi 1370, pi 1371), issued coins with the legend 'of king Philip', i.e. a putative Philip VI. (For Philip V see phi 355.) He was the last of the Macedonian kings in any sense: after his brief reign, 149-148, the Romans turned Macedonia into a province. ↩
3A problematic extra gloss, in the accusative case. Kuster deleted it; Bernhardy thought it belonged to a different entry.
