a celebrated Greek orator and historian, was born in the island of Chios, probably about 378 B.C., and flourished in the reign of Alexander the Great. He was one of the most famous of all the disciples of Isocrates, and won the prize from all the panegyrists whom Artemisia invited to Halicarnassus, to praise Mausolus. He wrote several works, which are lost. The fragments of this writer which remain have been published by Wichers and Muller.
