a celebrated architect of Macedonia, who rebuilt the temple of Ephesus, when burnt by Erostratus, with much more magnificence than before. Vitruvius informs us that Dinocrates proposed to Alexander the Great to convert mount Athos into the figure of a man, whose left hand should contain a walled city, and all the rivers of the mount flow into his right, and from thence into the sea! He also conceived a scheme for building the dome of the temple of Artemis at Alexandria, of loadstone; that should by its attraction uphold her iron image in the centre, suspended in the air! Projects which at least showed a vast extent of imagination. DIOCHRYSSOTOM that is, Golden Mouth, a celebrated orator and philosopher of Greece, in the first century, was born at Prula in Bithynia. He attempted to persuade Vespasian to quit the empire; was hated by Domitian; but acquired the esteem of Trajan. This last prince took pleasure in conversing with him, and made him ride with him in his triumphal chariot. There are still extant, 80 of Dio's orations, and some other of his works; the best edition of which is that of Hermann Samuel Reimarus, in 1750, in folio.
