Note 303 — APOLLONIUS OF TYANA.

As Egypt supplied Rome with corn, Vespasian by taking possession of that country almost secured to himself the Empire.—Tacit. Hist. ii. 82, iii. 8. Philostratus insinuates that he was already in possession of supreme power, and came to Egypt for the sanction of Apollonius. Την μἑν αρχἡν κεκτημἑνος διαλεξὁμενος δε τω ανδρἱ. v. 27.
