5. An Athenian, and a contemporary of Demosthenes. For some offence his name was effaced
from the list of Athenian citizens, whereupon he went to Philip of Macedonia. He pledged
himself to the king, that he would destroy by fire the Athenian arsenal in Peiraeeus ; but
when he arrived there with this intention, he was arrested by Demosthenes and accused of
treachery. He was found guilty, and put to death in de Coron. p. 271 ; Stechow, de Aeschinis Orat.
