	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.12.11
		This new edition of Nicolaus of Damascus is organized as follows: a short introduction that sums up the main questions this text and his author's personality arouse, an up-to-date bibliography, a clear and good translation, and a commentary of around 100 pages.
		It is important to know when Nicolaus started to be in Augustus' entourage but more important to know the date of his biography, whether he wrote it in his late years or around 25 B.C., which is J.M. and Bellemore's choice.
		It is true Nicolaus' biography of Augustus is used most of the time for its historical interest, so with historians' eyes and not with philologists' eyes, but the problem of the composition of this biography is essential for both.

		This reveals the influence Nicolaus had upon the great men of the day."...Upon which Nicolaus arose up to plead for Archelaus, and said, 'That what had been done at the temple was rather to be attributed to the mind of those that had been killed, than to the authority of Archelans;...
		The matter was related to a Jewish problem of which Nicolaus of Damascus (The Jews' Advocate page 251) was responsible.

	The Assassination of Julius Caesar, 44 BC
		Nicolaus of Damascus wrote his account of the murder of Caesar a few years after the event.
		Everyone wanted to seem to have had some part in the murder, and there was not one of them who failed to strike his body as it lay there, until, wounded thirty-five times, he breathed his last.
		Nicolaus of Damascus' account appears in Workman, B.K. They Saw it Happen in Classical Times (1964); Suetonius, The Twelve Caesars (Penguin Classics), translated by Robert Graves (1957).

	Curriculum Vitae of John R. Porter, U. of Saskatchewan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The account of the Lydian king Gyges' ascent to the throne offered in Nicolaus of Damascus' Universal History (1st C. BC) has been traced directly to the work of the fifth-century Lydian historian Xanthus.
		This study examines Nicolaus' clever manipulation of narrative motifs derived from the Bellerophon myth and the first speech of the 5th/4th-century Attic orator Lysias.
		The use of the latter, in particular, suggests that the relationship to Xanthus' account is far from straightforward and tells against the view of Nicolaus as a mere redactor.

	Nicolaus of Damascus, AUGUSTUS
		For an entire year at the very age at which youths, particularly those with wealth, are most wanton, he abstained from sexual gratification out of regard for both his voice and his strength.
		He sent some of his followers who were preeminent for intelligence and daring to Brundisium, to see if they could also win the forces just arrived from Macedonai over to his side, bidding them remember his father Caesar and not to betray his son.

	WHAT_KILLED_HEROD.page
		The second account of Herod's final illness is more detailed than the first, but both are largely dependent on the firsthand account of Nicolaus of Damascus, who was Herod's daily companion and thus an eyewitness to the king's condition.(
		Nicolaus wrote a 144-volume history of the world, but unfortunately almost all that remains of the Jewish section of this work is what was quoted or otherwise used by Josephus.
		He was in Damascus at the time, Josephus tells us, and wanted to return to Jerusalem to help his elder brother Phasael quell a disturbance there, but was prevented from returning by an unexpected illness (

		Dear Russell, The major point is you haven't shown Pliny used Nicolaus.
		On one minor point: I questioned that, merely because Josephus was "a delegate to Rome before the Jewish war," that he therefore must have then, at that time, known Latin.

		An important link between 5 Maccabees and Nicolaus of Damascus is that both, against Josephus (Wars 1.6, 2) and others (e.g.
		Hegesippus), claim that Antipater, Herod's father, was not an Idumaean, but a Jew who had come from Babylonia with Ezra (cf.

		Goodsir, remarking on this last extract, writes: "These coincidences appear to us to be well deserving of attention, though we are not aware that they have ever before been noticed.
		Admitting the truth of the following extract from the writings of Nicolaus of Damascus, referred to by Josephus, it is very easy to understand when and how Abraham obtained his great influence in Persia; and we know of no conflicting testimony to render the statements unworthy of our consideration.
		It is not difficult for those who believe in the Bible as it is written, to understand that immediately after the flood there was but one form of faith upon the earth, and that the true one.

		The treatise 'De vegetabilibus et plantis', which goes back to the Peripatetic Nicolaus of Damascus and has an interesting tradition (from Greek into Syrian, from Syrian into Arabic, from Arabic into Latin), was considered to be a work of Aristotle's and was among the subjects prescribed for study in the Facultas Artium in Paris.
		Petrus de Alvernia's Sententia should primarily be regarded as an exposition of this often problematic work for the students of this faculty.

		In Canaan, Abraham and his family continued to keep YEHOVAH's Sabbath and holy days, a fact brought out by Hutton Webster in Rest Days, "...the [early] Hebrews employed LUNAR SEVEN-DAY WEEKS...which ended with special observances on the seventh day but none the less were TIED TO THE MOON'S COURSE" (page 254).
