Κάστωρ, Ῥόδιος, ἢ ὥς τινες Γαλάτης, ὡς δὲ ἄλλοι ἐπλανήθησαν Μασσαλιώτης: ῥήτωρ ὃς ἐκλήθη Φιλορώμαιος. γήμας δὲ οὗτος Δηϊοτάρου τοῦ συγκλητικοῦ θυγατέρα ἀνῃρέθη ὑπ' αὐτοῦ ἅμα τῇ γαμετῇ, διότι αὐτὸν Καίσαρι διέβαλεν. ἔγραψε δὲ Ἀναγραφὴν Βαβυλῶνος καὶ τῶν θαλασσοκρατησάντων ἐν βιβλίοις β#, Χρονικὰ ἀγνοήματα, καὶ Περὶ ἐπιχειρημάτων ἐν βιβλίοις ε#, Περὶ πειθοῦς β#, Περὶ τοῦ Νείλου, τέχνην ῥητορικήν: καὶ ἕτερα. ζήτει περὶ ἀγαλμάτων Κάστορος καὶ Πολυδεύκους ἐν τῷ Διόσκουροι.

Rhodes; FGrH 250. The main paragraph of the present entry has already appeared, out of alphabetical order, as

Strabo 12.5.3;
Cicero Pro Rege Deiotaro. (On Deiotarus himself see
OCD3 s.v.)
[3] See
Delta 1209.
