[50] Schneider in his Latin grammar has a whole chapter on the name of Perseus. But all the Greek names ending in εύς had in the old Latin the termination -es, and were in the genitive case declined after the second declension. Piraeeus makes in the genitive Piraei, (Piraeei being a barbarism which is not to be met with in any MS.). Perseus differs from the rest, in afterwards getting into the third declension. Its accusative is Persen: Persum does not occur, but certainly Piraeum does.
[51] This original opinion on the work of Polybius, which Niebuhr repeated several times (see R. H. III. p. 49.) is probably to be understood thus, that he makes the first edition reach to the conclusion of the thirtieth book, (one MS. states in this passage, books I. to XXVIII., in which very likely the first two books are not included,) and considers the rest as added in the second edition.—Germ. Edit.
