Note 174 — Chapter II · THE ALEXANDRIAN DIVINITIES
Reading edition
Macrobius, Saturn. Bk I. c. 20. Bouché-Leclercq (R.H.R. 1902, t. XLVI. p. 19, n. 1) says these lines are a forgery of late date. Krall, Tacitus, etc. Th. I, Bk iv., is of the contrary opinion. Nicocreon of Cyprus was certainly a contemporary of Ptolemy Soter, and helped him against Perdiccas.
