[3511] A Dithyrambic poet, a native of Cythera, or, according to some,
of Heraclea in Pontus. During the latter part of his life he resided
at the court of the younger Dionysius, tyrant of Sicily, and died B.C.

[3514] Nothing positive seems to be known of this author, who is
mentioned in Chapters 11, 24, and 25 of the present Book as having
written on Precious Stones. It is possible that he may have been the
architect mentioned in B. xxxvi. c. 14. Hardouin would identify him
with a Comic writer of Olynthus, of this name.

[3517] See end of B. x.
[3518] A Roman senator, who wrote a work on Fishing, in 26 Books, one
on Hydromancy or aquatic divination, and other works connected with
history. It is probably from a work of his, “On Rivers,” that Plutarch
quotes. See Chapters 11 and 23 of the present Book.
[3519] Author of a “Periplus,” and of a poem “on the Fabulous forms of
Men,” both mentioned by Tzetzes. See Chapters 11, 23, 24, and 51 of
this Book.

and Stobæus, but no further particulars are known of him. He is
mentioned in Chapter 11 of this Book.
[3525] Mentioned also in Chapter 11 of this Book. A person of this
name is quoted by the Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius as the author of
a work on Libya; from which he is supposed to have been a native of
Africa.
[3526] Beyond the mention made of him in Chapter 11 of this Book, as a
contemporary of Pliny, no further particulars are known.
[3527] A native of Patara in Lycia, who wrote a Description of the
Earth, and a collection of the Oracles given at Delphi. See Chapter 11
of this Book.
[3528] Beyond the mention made of him in Chapter 11 of this Book,
nothing relative to this writer seems to be known.
[3529] See end of B. ii.
[3530] Mithridates VI., Eupator, or Dionysus, King of Pontus, and the
great adversary of the Romans, commonly known as Mithridates the Great.
His notes and Memoirs were brought to Rome by Pompey, who had them
translated into Latin by his freedman Pompeius Lenæus. See end of B.
xiv.: also B. vii. c. 24, B. xxiii. c. 77, B. xxv. cc. 3, 27, 79, B.
xxxiii. c. 54, and Chapters 5 and 11 of the present Book.
[3531] See end of B. xxi.
[3532] See end of B. viii.
[3533] From the mention made of him in Chapters 12 and 25 of this Book,
we may conclude that he was a writer on Precious Stones.
[3534] See end of B. ii.
[3535] From the mention of him in Chapters 23 and 28 of this Book, he
appears to have been a writer on Precious Stones.
[3536] Probably the physician of Miletus, sometimes called Olympiacus,
who, according to Galen, belonged to the sect of the Methodici, and
lived in the first century after Christ. Galen speaks of him as “a
frivolous person.”
[3537] See Cornelius Alexander, end of B. iii.

[3539] See end of B. xxix.
[3540] See end of B. xviii.
