Notes

[edit]
  1. Possibly a conflation of Thales's Milesian school with the medieval Irish legend of Milesius. Otherwise a reference to Melissus of Samos, the last prominent member of the Eleatic school of Greek monotheists.
  2. [sic]
  3. May refer to any number of Egyptian kings named Ptolemy around this time.
  4. The popular Pseudo-Ciceronian Rhetorica ad Herennium is probably what is meant here.
  5. Possibly referring to Antiochus XII Dionysus of the Seleucids.
