In connection with the inscription from Geraki (No. 11) published above, and the parallel inscription from Mantinea, it seems worth while to discuss two obscure points. (1) The history ot Demetrius the Fair, the father of Antigonus Doson. (2) The worship of the earlier Diadochi.

^{page 118 note 2} Beloch, op. cit. p. 92, suggests that the marriage of Phila with Antigonus Gonatas having taken place at the close of the war between him and Antiochus I., Demetrius was born about 276. Consequently he would have been about 18 in 258.

^{page 118 note 5} It is worth remarking the frequency of the revolts of Cyrene against Ptolemaic rule. Besides those mentioned we know of two others (Polybius, x. 22. 2; Plutarch, Philopoemen 1, Aratus 5; and Polyaenus, viii. 70); further during the reign of Philometor it was independent under Euergetes II., and later from 117–96 it was ruled by Ptolemy Apion quite independent of Egypt.
