Walbank Commentary

Overview
33.20.0 - 33.21.0
<p rend="Plain Text"> <emph rend="bold">20–21.</emph> Unplaced fragments </p> <p rend="Plain Text">These two excerpts from de sent. could be from either xxxiii or xxxiv. Ch. 20 might be a continuation of the remarks about <a class="linkToPlace" target="_blank" href="/place?placename=Rhodes&groupId=931&placeId=1665">Rhodes</a> (17. 1–5) but ch. 21 seems more like the polemic found in book xxxiv; it could well be from criticism of Pytheas (cf. xxxiv. 5. 7, 5. 9). See pp. 42–43.</p>
