Plu'tion
(
Πλουτίων), a Greek rhetorician, twice quoted briefly by Seneca, as it seems safe to infer that
Puton in the second passage should be read Plution. (
Suas. i. p. 13,
Controvers. 1.3. p. 104, ed. Genev. 1628.)
The commentators on the former passage state, on the authority of Eusebius, that he was a celebrated teacher of rhetoric. Westermann places him in the period between Augustus and Hadrian. (
Geschichte der Griech. Beredt. p. 188.)
