Charon
3. Of Naucratis, was the author of a history of the Alexandrian and Egyptian priests, and of the events which occurred under each; likewise of a treatise on Naucratis, and other works. (Suid.
s. v.) The Charon who was a friend of Apollonius Rhodius, and wrote a historical commentary on his
Argonaulica, has been identified by some with the historian of Naucratis, by others with the Carthaginian. (Fabric.
