Note 296 — LIFE OF POMPEIUS.
George Long translation
The circumstances of the rebellion of Pharnakes and the death of Mithridates are told by Appianus (Mithridatic War, c. 110) and Dion Cassius (37. c. 11). Mithridates died B.C. 63, in the year in which Cicero was consul.
The text of the last sentence in this chapter is corrupt; and the meaning is uncertain.
