I was under the impression that the Mithridates of poison fame was Mithridates VI of Pontus. See http://ancienthistory.about.com/library/weekly/aa053000a.htm -- Error
- It would appear you are correct. The Mithridates of Pontus was also the fellow who allegedly spoke more than 25 languages, and who not only could address each soldier in his army by name, but also in his own language. -- IHCOYC 14:04, 7 Aug 2003 (UTC)
"In an inscription from Delos he is called "the great King of Kings Arsakes."" I moved this here because it must refer to one of the Parthians named Arsaces, no? I don't have access to it, but I think the reference from Encyclopaedia Brittanica is to volume I in the series Corpus inscriptionum Graecarum, titled Inscriptiones Graecae, Inscriptiones Megaridis, Boeotiae, et Oropiae edited by W. Dittenberger, 1892, p. or no. 430. Not on my shelves... Wetman 22:47, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
