Notes (2)
- 1Here in the genitive case, evidently quoted from somewhere; probably from Herodotus 4.172.2, on which see further, next note. ↩
- 2From Stephanus of Byzantium s.v. Nasamones. (He is explicit that Nasamon was an actual individual, but this is probably no more than a careless reading of Herodotus 4.172.2, where
*nasamw=nos a)ndro/s means a generic 'Nasamonian man'.) For their location see Barrington Atlas maps 37 and 38. ↩
