Plo'camus

a Greek sculptor, whose name is inscribed on the plinth of a group of two statues, Bacchus supported by Ampelus. Besides the inscription ΠΛΟΚΑΜΟΞ ΞΠΟΙΗΞΕ, there is another on the front of the plinth, ΦΟΚΞΙΩΝ ΞΥΝ ΜΥΡ, which is evidently of later date. (Boissard, Anliq. Rom. p. iv. tab. 120; Montfaucon, Antiq. Expliq. vol. ii. p. 11; R. Rochette, Lettre à M. Schorn. p. 389, 2d ed.)
