Notes (1)
- 1Quotation (and individual) unidentifiable. However, the second toponym, as Bernhardy realised, should probably be not 'Barrhai' but Karrhai. Barrhai is otherwise attested only in Ptolemy's Geography, as being in or near India (7.2.20); reading Karrhai (Carrhae) -- famous for the battle against the Parthians in which M. Licinius Crassus Dives met his death -- produces two places, in this quotation, both in Mesopotamia. ↩
