page 263 note 3 This is a principal theme of the valuable study by Bowersock, G. W., Augustus and the Greek World (1965)Google Scholar, where, however, the Seleucus dossier is unaccountably ignored, except for a passing reference on p. 89, n. 3.

page 263 note 4 For the general rule that Imperial letters to cities were written in reply to embassies see Millar op. cit., p. 163. The best example of a letter recommending an individual is that of Hadrian to Ephesus recommending a friend, L. Erastus, as bouleutes, Syll.3 838; Abbott and Johnson, Municipal Administration, no. 85.
