Hansen, p. 26. Livy, 33.21–22, says that Attalus died in the consulship of Cornelius and Minucius (197BC) at the age of 72, having reigned 44 years. Polybius, 18.41, also says that he lived 72 and reigned 44 years. Strabo, 13.4.2, says that he reigned 43 years.

Strabo, 13.4.2, says that he was the cousin of Eumenes. Pausanias, 1.8.1, probably following Strabo, says the same. But modern writers have concluded that Strabo had skipped a generation; see Hansen, p. 26.
