 ture, mentioned also by Varro.

■ 29 Made king of Cappadocia by Antony, b.c. 34. He died at Rome, at 

 an advanced age, a.d. 17. Plutarch attributes to King Archelaus — if, in- 

 deed, this was the same — a treatise on Minerals. 



30 A native of Claros, near Colophon, in Ionia. It is not a matter of 

 certainty, but it is most probable, that he lived in the reign of Ptolemy V., 

 who died b.c. 181. He was a poet, grammarian, and physician. His 

 " Theriaca," a poem on the wounds intlicted by venomous animals, still 

 exists, as also another called " Alexipharmia."
