Pompeius
29. M.
Pompeius, the commander of the cavalry under Lucullus, in the third Mithridatic war.
He was wounded and taken prisoner (Appian,
App. Mith. 79; Memnon, 45, ed. Orelli). Plutarch calls him Pomponius (
Lucull. 15), which Schweighäuser has introduced into the text of Appian, though all the MSS. of Appian have Pompeius.
