(), an Achaean, was chosen to be one of the
generals of the Cyrean Greeks in the place of his countryman Socrates, when the latter, with
Clearchus and three other colleagues, had been treacherously arrested by Tissaphernes, B. C. 401. When the army had reached Cotyora, a court was held to inquire
into the conduct of the generals, and Xanthicles was one of those who were fined for a
deficiency in the cargoes of the ships, which had brought the soldiers from Trapezus, and of
which he was a commissioner. (Xen. Anab. 3.1.47, 5.8.1.)
