Notes:

1. The first stemma calls Adea-Eurydice 'Philip III' (instead of her husband Arrhidaeus). On the map on page xii-xiii, Tyre has moved to Haifa; Pella, Issus, Maracanda, and the Iaxartes are called Bella, Issis, Marcanda, and Laxartes; ultrazionists may appreciate that the word 'Palestine' is placed in Jordan.
2. Alexander's date of birth, 6 Loos, is identified with 20 July (although we cannot, to the best of my knowledge, convert dates from the Macedonian to the Gregorian calendar), whereas the day of Alexander's death, which we know beyond reasonable doubt (11 June 323) is ignored. Cf. Leo Depuydt, 'The Time of Death of Alexander the Great' in Welt des Orients 28 (1997) 117-135, an article not mentioned in H & Y's otherwise complete bibliography.
3. A. Shapur Shahbazi, 'Iranians and Alexander', American Journal of Ancient History n.s. 2 (2003), 5-38, note 71.
4. Recently, these sources have been collected, re-edited, re-translated, and commented upon by R.J. van der Spek in a useful article -- 'Darius III, Alexander the Great and Babylonian scholarship' in Achaemenid History 13 (2003) 289-346 -- that appeared too late for H & Y to take into account.
5. At least one Jew was educated as a Chaldaean: Talmud Babli, Baba Metziah 85b, mentions a rabbi Samuel, educated as 'astrologer and physician' -- an exact translation of one of the Chaldaean titles. To be fair, this happened several centuries after Alexander.
6. Michael Wood, In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great (1997 Berkeley), p.90.
7. This date can also be deduced from the lunar phase. The battle started late in the afternoon and must have lasted until after sunset. If it took place after 7 November, the moon rose too late to illuminate the battlefield. On the other hand, before 4 November, the moon's disk was too small.
