1. A citizen of Acanthus, sent as ambassador to Sparta, B. C. 382,
to obtain her assistance for Acanthus and the other Chalcidian towns against the Olynthians.
Xenophon records a speech of his, delivered on this occasion, in which he dwells much on the
ambition of Olynthus and her growing power. His application for aid was successful. (Xen. Hell. 5.2.11, &c.; Diod.
15.19, &c.; comp. p. 155a.)
