4. A man of the name of Pagondas is spoken of by Theodoretus (de Cur. Affect. Graec. lib. ix.), as a legislator among the Achaeans. But as nothing further is known of him, and Pagondas is a name that does not elsewhere appear in use among the Achaeans, all those bearing the name of whom we have any certain knowledge being Boeotians, it has been conjectured with some probability that the name Pagondas in the passage of Theodoretus has been substituted through some mistake for Charondas. (Fabric. Bibl. Graec. vol. ii. p. 33.)
