Note 640 — BOOK XII. THE NATURAL HISTORY OF TREES. (continued 2)
John Bostock translation
There was a native of Mendæ, in Sicily, of this name, who wrote a history of Dionysius, the tyrant of Syracuse. It was, probably, a different person of this name who wrote a work on the East; if such is the case, Pliny most probably quotes from the work of the latter.
