(), an officer of Demetrius Soter, king of Syria.
In B. C. 161, when Demetrius had escaped from Rome and established
himself on the Syrian throne, he sent Menochares to plead his cause with Tiberius Gracchus
[No. 6.] and his fellow-commissioners, then in Cappadocia. In the following year, Menochares
was sent by Demetrius to Rome, to conciliate the senate by the present of a golden crown and
the surrender of Leptines, the assassin of Cn. Octavius, the Roman envoy. (Plb. 31.4,6; Diod. xxxi. Exc. Leg. xxv. p. 626.) [LEPTINES, No. 6.]
