Earlier you mentioned the possibility that Polybius used Scipio`s memoires as a source for his history, but also there was Scipio`s oldest son who I understand wrote a history,
 
No, I was not referring to Scipio’s memoirs. I wrote the following: “Also P. Cornelius Scipio (the son of Africanus) also wrote in Greek on Roman history. The scope of this work is unknown. It cannot be ruled out that Polybius could have drawn on this history.”
