Anti'lochus
(
*)Anti/loxos), a Greek historian, who wrote an account of the Greek philosophers from the time of Pythagoras to the death of Epicurus, whose system he himself adopted. (
Clem. Al. Strom. i. p. 133.)
He seems to be the same as the Antilogus mentioned by Dionysius of Halicarnassus. (
De Comp. Verb. 4; comp. Anonym.
Descript. Olymp. xlix.) Theodoret (
Therap. viii. p. 908) quotes an Antilochus as his authority for placing the tomb of Cecrops on the acropolis of Athens, but as Clemens of Alexandria (
Protrept. p. 13) and Arnobius (
ad v. Gent. 6.6) refer for the same fact to a writer of the name of Antiochus, there may possibly be an error in Theodoret.
