Lysi'machus
literary.
1. A comic poet, mentioned by Lucian, who ridicules him for the absurd pedantry with which, though born in Boeotia, he affected to carry the Attic use of T for
Σ to an extreme, using not only such words as
τετταράκοντα,
τήμερον,
καττίτερον,
κάττυμα and
πίτταν, but even
βασίλιτταα. (Lucian,
Jud. Vocal. i. p. 90; Meineke,
Hist. Crit. Com. Graec. p. 493.) Nothing more is known of this Lysimachus, and possibly the name is fictitious.
