6 In Appian (Mith. 11, and 17, and 24) Cassius' praenomen is given as Lucius, but the correct one, Gaius, is found in the inscription of Chaeremon (SIG³ 74 1). See Th. Reinach, Mithridates Eupator 109-111 (trans. Goetz); Magie, Roman Rule in Asia Minor 2.1100, note 22. As he was governor of Asia in 89 with the title Proconsul, which is attested in 88 (App. Mith. 24), it is probable that he held the praetorship in 90. (Broughton MRR II)
Proconsul in Asia (App. Mith. 11, and 24). Co-operated with the Roman Legates (see below, Legates) in restoring Nicomedes of Bithynia and Ariobarzanes of Cappadocia to their kingdoms, and in urging them in their turn to make raids on the territory of Mithridates of Pontus (App. Mith. 11-12; cf. Liv. Per. 74, and 76; Sall. Hist. 4. 69.10M; Iustin. 38.3.4-10, and 4.4-5, and 5.10; Dio 30-35, fr. 99; see Th. Reinach, Mithridates Eupator 109ff. [trans. Goetz]). (Broughton MRR II)
7 This casts doubt on the correctness of App. Mith. 112, a passage in which Cassius appears among the prisoners surrendered by Mithridates. Mithridates assaulted Rhodes but did not capture it. (Broughton MRR II)
Proconsul in Asia (App. Mith. 24). When overwhelmed by Mithridates in northern Asia Minor, he retired first on Apameia, and later escaped to Rhodes (SIG³ 741; Liv. Per. 77, and 78; App. Mith. 17, 19, and 24). (Broughton MRR II)
