Talk:Brogitarus

Brogitarix?

Is there any authority for the form Brogitarix as opposed to Brogitarus or Βρογιταρος? Cicero has Brogitarus. Comparing this article and that for Deiotarus, I suspect that an editor believes that -ix is an all-purpose Celtic ending for names like this (nominative singular, second declension). That's not the case. The suffix -rix (also found as -rixs, -ρειξ and the like) is exactly cognate to Latin rex and means 'king'. If Brogitarus is second declension, its Celtic form should be Brogitaros. (But remember we're in the Greek East here, so we would not be likely to find Celtic names written in Latin letters in any case...) Q·L·1968 ☿ 22:56, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Dates of reign

The article says he was king of Galatia in Asia Minor between 63 BC and 50 BC. It then says that Clodius made him king. Clodius was tribune in 58 BC and Wiseman in CAH² vol 9 (1994) p 379 says he was responsible or making Brogitarus king at Pessinus. Obviously, 58 BC is after 63 BC. So which is it?
