7.  From the decree of Lampsacus mentioned at iii.  IX.  Difficulties with Rome, it appears pretty certain that the Lampsacenes requested from the Massiliots not merely intercession at Rome, but also intercession with the Tolistoagii (so the Celts, elsewhere named Tolistobogi, are designated in this document and in the Pergamene inscription, C. J. Gr. 3536,—­the oldest monuments which mention them).  Accordingly the Lampsacenes were probably still about the time of the wax with Philip tributary to this canton (comp.  Liv. xxxviii. 16).

8.  The story that he went to Armenia and at the request of king Artaxias built the town of Artaxata on the Araxes (Strabo, xi. p. 528; Plutarch, Luc. 31), is certainly a fiction; but it is a striking circumstance that Hannibal should have become mixed up, almost like Alexander, with Oriental fables.
