    • Florus, Ammian, and Rufius Festus all confuse the order of the governors of Macedonia in this period (see 112-106). The Lex Delphica de Piratis refers to Didius' victory in Thrace, which must therefore be dated by or before 100 (SEG 3.378: {Gr}; see Jones, JRS 16 [1926] 160-173; Carcopino, Mél. Glotz 1.117ff., both of whom date the law to 100). Didius' triumph from Spain in 93 is numbered II in Act. Tr. (Broughton MRR I)
    • The latest possible date under the Lex Villia. In this year or the next he defeated the Scordisci in Thrace, and returned by 99 at the latest to celebrate a triumph (Cic. Pis. 61; Flor. 1.39.3-5; Ruf. Fest. Brev. 9; Amm. Marc. 27.4.10; Jerome, Chr. ad ann. 100, p. 149 Helm; cf. Lex. Delphica de Piratis, SEG 3.378; Riccobono, Font. Iur. Rom. Anteiustin. 1.121ff.).
