      poet, a native of a village or township in the territory of Sicyon called Platacae (<bibl n="Strabo ix.p.412">Strab. ix. p.412</bibl>). Eighteen of his epigrams are given in Brunck's
       <hi rend="ital">Anal.</hi> i. p. 190. The time when he flourished is uncertain. Reiske (<hi rend="ital">Not.</hi> p. 245, &amp;c.) is somewhat disposed to consider him a contemporary of
      Alexander the Great. Schneider (<hi rend="ital">Anal.</hi> p. 6) places him a century later.
      (Fabric. <hi rend="ital">Bibl. Graec.</hi> vol. iv. p. 483; Athen. iv. p. 163.) </p><byline>[<ref target="author.C.P.M">C.P.M</ref>]</byline></div></div></body></text></TEI>
