Notes

  1. So the transmitted text of this entry (lacking, Adler reports, in mss AF) -- but this is surely the Numidian king Micipsa (148-118 BCE) whose death precipitated the Jugurthine War. (The 1549 Basel edition of the Suda emended to "of Nomads"; cf. mu 245.)
    See generally OCD(4) s.v. Jugurtha.
