Notes

  1. Several individuals of this name are known, including the C1 BCE historian Gnaeus Pompeius Theophanes of Mytilene: OCD4 s.v. Theophanes; FGrH 188. (His first two names reflect his acquisition of Roman citizenship through the patronage of the man whose exploits he chronicled, Pompey the Great [pi 2024].) See also alpha 4640 for Th. the Byzantine chronographer and poet.
