Notes:
See generally D.A. Russell in OCD4
Plutarch.
[1] Trajan's reign: 98-117 CE. Modern scholars date
Plutarch's life to approximately 40-120 CE.
[2] This statement (also in
Eusebius) about Trajan granting
Plutarch ornamenta consularia is in all likelihood ahistorical. In the later tradition
Plutarch became a teacher and sage adviser to emperor Trajan, leading to such pseudoplutarchean works as the
Institutio Trajani (available in Vol 7 of Bernardakis's 1896 Teubner edition of the
Moralia, p.183-193).
[3]
Plutarch's
Parallel Lives and other essays (collectively the
Moralia) are in fact one of the largest corpora of classical literature extant. See further, next note
[3a] The total number of works written by
Plutarch may be as high as 250 to 260: cf. Konrat Ziegler,
Plutarchos von Chaironeia, Stuttgart 1964, cc.60-66; cf. also
Lamprias,
lambda 96, note 2.
