f which he had spent as ruler twenty-two years, seven months and seven days. A public funeral was accorded him and a eulogy, delivered by Gaius. [Footnote 1: Supplying here (as did Sylburgius, to fill a gap in the sense) ... [GREEK: echeleuse chahi tae boulae]....] [Footnote 2: The consul of A.D. 30, either _C. Cassius Longinus_ or his brother _L. Cassius Longinus_.] [Footnote 3: A gap in the MS. exists, as indicated.] [Footnote 4: A corrupt reading for which no wholly satisfactory substitute has been offered.] [Footnote 5: The predicate of this clause has fallen out in the MS., and the restoration is on lines suggested by Bekker.] [Footnote 6: Reading (with Mommsen) [Greek: outo] for [Greek: auto].] [Footnote 7: Reading [Greek: aedae polu] (Stephanus, Boissevain).] [Footnote 8: Using Boissevain's reading [Greek: adikousaes] (from Reiske) in preference to the MS. [Greek: diadikousaes].] [Footnote 9: A small gap. The text filled and context amended by Kuiper.] [Footnote 10: Evidently the previous reference was in a passage now lost, between Bk. 57, ch. 17, sect. 8, and Bk. 58, ch. 7, sect. 2 of the Codex Marcianus (Boissevain).] [Footnote 11: Compare Book Fifty-seven, chapter eight.] [Footnote 12: Caesianus and Caesiani are conjectures of Boissevain, the MS. being corrupt. The person meant is _L. Apronius Caesianus_ (consul A.D. 39).] [Footnote 13: A correction of Casaubon's for "the army" (MS.), which seems senseless.] [Footnote 14: The phrase yields no particular sense and is probably corrupt, but a correction is not easy. "To state his reasons" has been suggested; and a very slight change in the Greek produces "to eat something" another conjecture.] [Footnote 15: Probably from the _Bellerophon_ of Euripides.] [Footnote 16: Compare Euripides, Phoenician Maidens, verse 393.] [Footnote 17: Dio is in error. The date was really about ten days earlier.] DIO'S ROMAN HISTORY 59 The following is contained in the Fifty-ninth of Dio's Rome. About Gaius Caesar, called also Caligula (chapters 1-6). How the Herouem of Augustus was sanctified (chapter 7). How the Mauritanias began to be governed by Romans (chapter 25). How Gaius Caesar died (chapters 29, 30). Duration of time, the remainder of the consulship of Gnaeus Acerronius and Pontius Nigrinus, together with three additional years, in which there were the following magistrates here enumerated. M. Aquilius C. F. Iulianus
