M. Wheeler. For reading and commenting on earlier drafts I am also most grateful to J. N. Adams, S. Bartera, T. J. Cornell, J. D. Dillery, C. S. Kraus, J. L. Moles, T. P. Wiseman and especially E. A. Meyer. I owe an immense debt of gratitude to Tim Cornell for his great generosity in providing me with a pre-publication typescript of The Fragments of the Roman Historians, which both provided the stimulus for my discussion and greatly facilitated its writing; the Appendix at the end of the discussion consists largely of some of the various notes and suggestions which I submitted to his editorial team by way of acknowledgement. Finally I thank the Editors of Histos for accepting this discussion for publication, and their anonymous reader for numerous helpful comments.

References References to historiographical fragments will be to FRHist wherever possible (sometimes further identified by the addition of ‘C’), otherwise to Peter or to the most convenient edition (thus Jal for Livy, whose fragments are not included in FRHist). As a general rule I have kept doxography to a minimum, since FRHist contains extensive bibliographies on each of the historians treated there.
