⁸ Studies in Jewish Hellenism (1960), 166. Alessandrí, S., Stud. Class, e Or. 17 (1968), 187 f.Google Scholar, wishes altogether to deny the historicity of the expulsion of the Jews from Rome in 139 B.C. on the grounds that (1) it is not mentioned by any other source, (2) it is historically improbable that such an expulsion took place during a period of good diplomatic relations between Rome and the Jews, and (3) it is unlikely that there was any permanent community of Jews in Rome at so early a time. The author is also troubled by the association of Sabazius with the Jews in Paris' version, something which he attributes to the probable intrusion of a marginal gloss. Although the article does not directly address the problem which concerns us here, it is valuable in showing that the same passage presents no small number of difficulties when considered from other angles. Nonetheless, I find it hard to accept Alessandrí's conclusion that Valerius Maximus deliberately invented the expulsion-story, in order to find favour with Tiberius.

⁹ I bracket simulato, as it is an addition to the text repeated by Kappius from Torrenius' 1726 edition, but omitted by Kempf and more recent editors. I have also regularized Kappius' spelling and punctuation somewhat.

¹⁴ The editio princeps of Paris' epitome is in vol. III, pt. iii of A. Mai, Scriptorum veterum nova collectio e vaticanis codicibus edita ab Angelo Maio (1825–38). I have followed D. M. Schullian, Studies in honour of Ullman (1960), 93, in referring to this manuscript as Vat. Lat. 4929, although Kempf refers to it as 4229. Billanovich, G., Aevum 30 (1956), 319 f.Google Scholar, wishes to date both Vat. Lat. 4929 and Bernensis 366 to the ninth century. He also wishes to ascribe to Lupus of Ferrières (d. 862) the insertion of material from Julius Paris into the lacuna in the text of Valerius Maximus. He is of the opinion that both the text of Julius Paris used by Lupus and that of Vat. Lat. 4929 are derived from an edition made at Ravenna by a certain Rusticus Helpidius in the second quarter of the sixth century, as part of an historical and geographical encyclopaedia, including also such authors as Pomponius Mela and Vibius Sequester. Vat. Lat. 4929, in Billanovich's opinion, was written by Heiric of Auxerre (d. 876–7), a pupil of Lupus, and contains the same work as Rusticus' encyclopaedia.

We do not need here to pass judgement on the rightness or wrongness of Billanovich's arguments, which, nonetheless, appear to me more enthusiastic than objective. Suffice it to say that Billanovich nowhere addresses himself to our question, namely divergences between the Julius Paris of Bernensis 366 and that of Vat. Lat. 4929. If one accepts his arguments, then on the basis of the hypothesis here advanced, one would have to add to them that Heiric had before him a text of Nepotianus (or the like), whereas his master Lupus for some reason did not.
