(Ἀρισταγόρας), a Greek writer on Egypt. (Steph. Byz. s. vv. Ἑρμοτυμβιεῖς, Τάκομψος, Νικίου κώμη, Ψεβώ, Ἑλλμνικόν ; Aelian, Ael. NA 11.10.) Stephanus Byz. (s. v. Γυναικόπολις) says, that Aristagoras was not much younger than Plato, and from the order in which he is mentioned by Pliny (Plin. Nat. 36.12. s. 17) in the list of authors, who wrote upon Pyramids, he would appear to have lived between, or been a contemporary of, Duris of Samos and Artemiodorus of Ephesus.
