No Quintus Memmius is otherwise known to history, and no Memmius among the list of legates sent to Asia. [[Polybius]] (xxxi. 18) mentions a Quintus and a Canuleius as sent to Egypt, 162 BC, and again (xxxiii. 15) the same Quintus as sent as an ambassador to Rhodes, 153 BC. A T itus Memmius had been an envoy of the senate to [[Achaia]] and [[Macedonia]] before the date of this letter (Livy xliii. 5). None of these is likely to be the one referred to in 2 Maccabees 11:34 , and it is possible that no such person was sent with the letter, which is spurious. See [[Manius]] . </p> | ||
