² Usurpers sometimes changed their names; Diodotus in Syria called himself Tryphon, and the Hyrcanian governor of Phraates II in Babylonia, when he seized the crown, called himself Himerus; it is an inevitable deduction from E. T. Newell’s study, *NC* 1924 p. 175, that the Greek word *ἵμερος* was not the man’s real name.
