19 It remains doubtful whether the name Mancinus in Appian (Mith. 11 and 19) is simply a corruption for Maltinus, or whether he was T. Manlius Mancinus, Tr. Pl. 107, or an otherwise unknown possessor of the cognomen. See Th. Reinach, Mithridates Eupator 110 (trans. Goetz), and Münzer, RE, s. v. "Manlius," nos. 59 and 61. On the date, see Reinach, op. cit. 109ff.; Magie, Roman Rule in Asia Minor 1.209f., and 2. 1100. (Broughton MRR II)
They were sent to restore Nicomedes of Bithynia and Ariobarzanes of Cappadocia to their thrones (App. Mith. 11; Iustin 38.3.4, and 4.4-5). They then incited the kings to raid the territory of Mithridates and refused to heed the latter's protests (App. Mith. 11-17; Iustin 38.3.4-9; cf. Sall. Hist. 4.69M). Maltinus was driven from Cappadocia before negotiations ended (Iustin 38.3.8, and 4.4; cf. App. Mith. 15; Trogus Prol. 38). See 88, Legates. (Broughton MRR II)
