(Θεότιμος), a Greek writer of unknown date, wrote upon Italy (Plut. Parall. min. 100.8), Cyrene (Schol. ad Pind. Pyth. 4.61, 5.33), and the Nile (Schol. ad Pind. Pyth. 7.33). Athenaeus (xiii. p. 611b.) speaks of a stoic philosopher of the name of Theotimus, but in that passage Diotimus ought probably to be substituted. [DIOTIMUS, No. 5.] (Comp. Vossius, de Hist. Graec. p. 505, ed. Westermann.)
