Ὑρκανός· ὄνομα κύριον. τοῦτον ἠρώτησεν Ἀρίων, πῶς ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ συναγάγοι τὴν οὐσίαν, ὡς πονῶν καὶ ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις ἀντέχων ἐδήλου.

Notes (2)
- 1That of several individuals in Jewish history and historiography of the second and first centuries BCE, notably king John Hyrcanus, son of Simon Maccabee. (The quotation which now follows concerns an earlier homonym, however: see next note.) ↩
- 2A rather clumsy abridgement of Josephus, Jewish Antiquities 12.203 (web address 1). The scene takes place in Alexandria, and Arion [Author, Myth] is the luckless steward of this Hyrcanus' father Joseph. See also pi 3040 with the notes there. ↩
