Talk:Polybius

Research notes and checks (24 October 2026)

The following points about this article's sources still need checking:

• Thin (five notes). 'Historian from Achaea' is inferred from his being an Achaean hostage. No birth or death dates were collected.
• Dillon and Garland is cited as Routledge 2021, ISBN 9780415741521 (paperback, from the copyright page); Perlego lists 9781317391340. Every recorded quotation is a partial sentence, so the article paraphrases. Dates are BC unless stated.
• No |location= or access-date is cited.
• Quotation marks are used only for full-sentence exact quotations, or for terms of three words or fewer found in the notes.
• Neutral, family-friendly: the subject died centuries ago; no graphic violence; no living people, active companies or current products are named.
• The category Category:People has not been checked against the live wiki, nor have the See also links.
• All notes cited are marked 'Not checked' against the printed book.
