      according to the common reading, as one of the statuaries who flourished about the time of the
      revival of the art. The MSS. vary much as to the form of the name; and, taking also into
      account the very loose way in which some of these names are inserted by Pliny (comp. <hi rend="smallcaps">POLYCLES</hi>), it is by no means impossible that he may be one and the same
      person with the silverchaser <hi rend="smallcaps">PYTHEAS.</hi> (See Sillig, edition of Pliny,
