Eu'crates

（Εὐκράτης), the demagogue, according to the Scholiast, alluded to by Aristophanes (Aristoph. Kn. 130), where he speaks of a flax-seller who ruled next but one before Cleon. (Comp. Equit. 254.) He might possibly be the same as the father of Diodotus (Thuc. 3.41), who spoke against Cleon in the Mytilenaean debate, B. C. 427, but it is not very probable. The Eucrates mentioned in the Lysistrata (103) of Aristophanes as a general in Thrace is a different person, and probably the the same as the brother of Nicias spoken of below.

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
