Deme'trius
11. Surnamed CHYTRAS, a Cynic philosopher at Alexandria, in the reign of Constantius, who, suspecting him guilty of forbidden practices, ordered him to be tortured. The Cynic bore the pain inflicted on him as a true philosopher, and was afterwards set free again. (Ammian. Marc. 19.12.)
He is probably the same as the person mentioned by the emperor Julian (
Orat. vii.) by the name of Chytron. (Vales.
ad Ammian. Marc. l.c.)
