  • Strabo, Geography, Books 13-14, (Loeb Classical Library) translated by Horace Leonard Jones; Cambridge, Massachusetts: Harvard University Press; London: William Heinemann, Ltd. (1924) ISBN 0674992466. (See: ())

    Footnotes

    • 1 Strabo, Geography, 13.4.2 (see: ()), says that Eumenes "… died after a reign of twenty-two years." His reign began with the death of Philetaerus in 263 BC.
    • 2 That Pergamon probably paid tribute can be inferred from the statements of Livy, History of Rome, 38.16 (see: ()), says that he was the cousin of Attalus I. Pausanias, Description of Greece, 1.8.1 (see: ()), probably following Strabo, says the same. But modern writers have concluded that Strabo had skipped a generation, see Esther V. Hansen, The Attalids of Pergamon, (1971), p. 26.
