Volume 15 · 69 words · 1823 Edition

a Greek author and Platonic philosopher, who wrote Commentaries on Plato's Politics, which are lost: but his name is particularly famous for a treatise entitled Αγορας Στρατηγεις, "Of the duty and virtues of the general of an army;" which has been translated into Latin, Italian, Spanish, and French. The time when he lived is not precisely known; but is imagined to be in the reign of the emperor Claudius.
