1 Since Xerxes II and Darius II intervened between Artaxerxes I (465/4-425/4, see Books 11.69.6 and 12.64.1) and Artaxerxes II (405/4-362/1, see Book 13.108.1), this statement is not quite accurate. The name Artaxerxes seems not to have been used for Arses and Darius III.
2 Diodorus's account of Agesilaus in Egypt differs considerably from the other accounts: Xen. Ages. 2.28-31; Plut. Agesilaus 36-40; and Nepos Agesilaus 8. Plutarch appears to be the most reliable. In particular Agesilaus is elsewhere reported to have changed allegiance from Tachos to Nectanebos. According to Olmstead (History of the Persian Empire, 417, 419-420) Agesilaus served in Egypt from 360 to 358.
3 Contrary to Plut. Agesilaus 38.1 and 40.1, who seems more reliable. Tachos fled, Agesilaus established Nectanebos and left with gifts from the latter.
4 Contrary to Plut. Agesilaus 40.3: ". . . enclosed his dead body in melted wax, since they had no honey . . ." (Perrin, L.C.L.). Nepos Agesilaus 8.7 agrees with Plutarch.
