(Ἀμύντας), a Greek writer of a work entitled Σταθμοί, which was probably an account of the different halting-places of Alexander the Great in his Asiatic expedition. He perhaps accompanied Alexander. (Näke, Choerilus, p. 205.) From the references that are made to it, it seems to have contained a good deal of historical information. (Athen. 2.67a., x. p. 442b., xi. p. 500. d., xii. pp. 514, f., 529, c.; Aelian, Ael. NA 5.14, 17.17.)
