[Footnote 7: The ancients seem rather uncertain about this personage's name, for Velleius Paterculus gives _Adduus_, and Florus _Donnes_. The modern reader may take his choice of the three, and the layman is as likely to be right as the expert] [Footnote 8: Between this point and the words "he both adopted Tiberius," etc., in chapter 13, two leaves of the codex Marcianus are lacking. Of the missing portion Xiphilinus and Zonaras supply perhaps three-sevenths.] [Footnote 9: These are the words of Xiphilinus. Zonaras presents an alternate possibility (X, 36) as follows: "Among the Greeks, Dio says, the coin called _aureus_ has twenty drachmæ (denarii) as its regular rate of exchange."] [Footnote 10: It seems rather likely that Zonaras has become confused, and that he should have said "Livia."] [Footnote 11: Verb supplied by Xylander.] [Footnote 12: Possibly a reference to the opening of Book Fifty-four. (Boissée.)] [Footnote 13: Compare Xenophon, _Cyropædia_, VIII, 4, 5.] [Footnote 14: The three words after "kill" are on the basis of a suggestion made by Boissevain. The MS. has a gap of some fifteen letters.] [Footnote 15: Emendation by Mommsen.] [Footnote 16: Compare Book Fifty-three, chapter 14.] [Footnote 17: His true name was Archelaus.] [Footnote 18: Cp. Suetonius, Life of Augustus, chapter 23.] [Footnote 19: At this point in the codex Marcianus four leaves have been lost.] DIO'S ROMAN HISTORY 56 The following is contained in the Fifty-sixth of Dio's Rome: How Augustus addressed those having children and afterward the childless and unmarried, and what rules he laid down to apply to them (chapters 1-10).
