Nicolaus of Damascus' life of Augustus

Note 14 — TRANSLATION

Clayton Morris Hall translation

Incorrect as the text stands. Valesius indicated that L. Marcius Philippus’ ancestor, Q. Marcius Philippus, was engaged not with Philip V of Macedonia but with his son Perseus (CIL 1, p. 359). Either Nicolaus was misinformed, or Φίλιππον has been inserted in the text by attraction in place of Περσέα. Cicero (Att. 12, 9) calls L. Philippus ‘son of Amyntas’ jokingly. Amyntas was the father of the great Philip of Macedon.
