The Greeks in Bactria and India c9.s2.105

c9.s2.105

³ In *CAH* IX p. 611 I said Rome and *Parthia*; I think now it was not Parthia but Surenas. See *Crassus* 21, the silly story of the train of concubines with his army, the whole point being mobility; 24, his effeminacy and foppishness; 30, he tricks Crassus; 32, the shameful mock triumph (note θηλύτητα, answering θηλύτητα in 24); 33, the mutilation of Crassus’ body. He does not belittle Surenas’ real qualities (21), but adds what he can to his discredit; while in 21 he defends Orodes for taking the Armenian front himself.
