A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Maluginensis (search)

Maluginensis 8. M. Cornelius Maluginensis, P. F. P. N., was elected censor in B. C. 393, to supply the place of C. Julius Julus, who had died in his year of office; but as Rome was taken by the Gauls in this lustrum, this practice was considered of ill omen, and no censor was ever elected again in place of one who had died in his year of office. (Liv. 5.31, 9.34.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Nico'machus (search)
Nico'machus 2. The father of Aristotle, who belonged to the family of the Asclepiadae, and was descended from Nicomachus, the son of Machaon. He had another son named Arimnestus, and a daughter named Arimneste, by his wife Phaestis, or Phaestias, who was also descended from Aesculapius. He was a native of Stageira, and the friend and physician of Amyntas II., king of Macedonia, B. C. 393-369. He was perhaps the author of the works attributed (apparently) by Suidas to his ancestor, the son of Machaon. (Suid. s. v. *)Aristote/lhs, *Niko/maxos; Ammon. in vita Aristot.; D. L. 5.1.1.; Dionys. De Demosth. et Aristot. § 5; Joann. Tzetz. Chil. 10.727). [W.A.G
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Pasime'lus (search)
Pasime'lus （*pasi/mhlos), a corinthian, of the oligarchical party. When, in B. C. 393, the democrats in Corinth massacred nmaun of their adversaries, who, they had reason to think, were contemplating the restoration of peace with Sparta, Pasinlelus, having had some suspicion of the design, was in a gymnasium outside the city walls, with a body of young men assembled around him. With these he seized, during the tumult, the Acrocorinthus ; but the fail of the capital of one of the columns, and the adverse signs of the sacrifices, were omens which warned them to abandon their position. They were persuaded to remalin in Corinth under assurances of personal safety; but they were dissatisfied with the state of public affairs, especially with the measure which had united Argos and Corinth, or rather had merged Corinth il Argos; and Pasimelus therefore iand Alcilenes sought a secret interview with Praxitas, the Lacedaemonian commander at Sicyon, and arranged to admliit him with his forces wi

Poti'tus, Vale'rius 4. L. Valerius Potitus, described in the Capitoline Fasti as L. F. P. N., consular tribune five times, namely in B. C. 414, 406, 403, 401, 398 (Liv. 4.49, 58, 5.1, 10, 14). He was also twice consul; first in B. C. 393, with P. Cornelius Maluginensis Cossus, in which year both consuls had to resign, through some fault in the auspices (vitio facli), and L. Lucretius Flavus Tricipitinus and Ser. Sulpicius Camerinus were chosen in their stead; and a second time in the following year, B. C. 392, with M. Manlius, in which year both the consuls celebrated the great games, which had been vowed by the dictator M. Furius, and also carried on war against the Aequi. In consequence of their success in this war, Valerius obtained the honour of a triumph, and Manlius of an ovation (Liv. 5.31; Dionys. A. R. 1.74). In the same year Valerius was the third interrex appointed for holding the comitia (Liv. 5.31), and in B. C. 390, the year in which Rome was taken by the Gauls, he was
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Praxitas (search)
Praxitas （*Praci/tas), a Lacedaemonian, who, in B. C. 393, was stationed as polemarch, with his mora, at Sicyon. The Corinthians, Pasimelus and Alcimanes, being desirous of restoring Corinth to her connection with Lacedaemon, of-fered to admit Praxitas by night within the long walls that joined Corinth with Lechaeum. In this they succeeded, and in the engagement which took place next day with the Argive forces, the Lacedæmonians slaughtered great numbers of the latter. After this victory, Praxitas, having been joined by his allies, demolished the long walls, and then crossing the isthmus, took and garrisoned Sidus and Crommyon. (Xen. Helen. 4.4.7-13.) [C.P

doubt that there is an error in the numbers of Diodorus, but in which of the two reigns it is impossible to say. M. de Boze, on the other hand, supposes (Mém. de l'Acad. des Inscr. vol. vi. p. 555) this interval to have been filled by another Spartacus, and that it was this second king, and not Spartacus I., who was the father of Satyrus : but this seems a very forced and unnecessary hypothesis. Our knowledge of the events of his rein is confined to the fact that he encouraged those friendly and commercial relations with Athens, which he appears to have already found in existence, and which were still farther extended by his son Leucon [LEUCON]. His conduct in this respect, as related by Isocrates, would lead us to form a favourable estimate of his character (Isocrat. Trapezit. pp. 359, 360, 370; Lysias pro Mantith. p. 145; Demosth. c. Lept. p. 467). He was slain at the siege of Theudosia in B. C. 393, and was succeeded by his son, Leucon. (Diod. 14.93; Harpocration. v. *Qeudosi/an.

ced, principally by Xenophon himself, to accept the offers of the Thracian prince. By the assistance of these new auxiliaries, Seuthes obtained an easy victory over the mountain tribes, and recovered the whole of his father's dominions. But when it came to the question of paying the services of the Greeks, great disputes arose, and Seuthes, at the instigation of Heracleides, endeavoured by every subterfuge to elude his obligations. He was at length, however, compelled to pay the stipulated sum, and the Greeks thereupon crossed into Asia (Xen. Anab. 7.1.5, 2-7). Not long afterwards, B. C. 399, we find him sending an auxiliary force to the Spartan general, Dercyllidas, in Bithynia (Id. Hellen. 3.2.2). At a subsequent period (B. C. 393), he was engaged in hostilities with his former patron Amadocus; but the quarrel between them was terminated by the intervention of Thrasybulus; and Seuthes, at the suggestion of that general, concluded an alliance with Athens. (Ibid. 4.8.26; Diod. 14.94.)
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Teleu'tias (search)
Teleu'tias （*Teleuti/as), a Spartan, was brother on the mother's side to Agesilaus II., by whose influence he was appointed to the command of the fleet, in B. C. 393, in the war of the Lacedaemonians against Corinth and the other states of the hostile league. In this capacity, in the same year, he recovered from the Corinthians the mastery of the Corinthian gulf, and sailed up to Lecheum, where he co-operated with the land force under Agesilaus, and took the ships and docks of the enemy. In B. C. 390, he was sent to Asia to supersede Ecdicus as admiral [ECDICUS]. On his arrival at Samos he added some vessels to his squadron, sailed on to Cnidus, where he received the fleet from Ecdicus, and then proceeded towards Rhodes. On his voyage he fell in with and captured ten Athenian triremes, which were on their way to Cyprus under the command of Philocrates, to aid Evagoras against the king of Persia [PHILOCRATES, No. 2]. Hereupon the Athenians sent out Thrasybulus, with forty ships, to ac

the 10,000 at the distance of several stadia with the intent of assailing them in a mountain pass, through which their march necessarily lay. On hearing this, the main body of the Greeks hastened to secure the pass, and, having moreover attacked the camp of Tiribazus, put the barbarians to flight, and captured the tent of the satrap himself (Xen. Anab. 4.4. §§ 4-7, 16-21, 5.1, 7.8.25; Diod. 14.27.) Tiribazus succeeded Tithraustes as satrap of Western Asia, and in this office we find him in B. C. 393, when Antalcidas was sent to negotiate, through him, a peace for Sparta with the Persian king. The satrap was convinced by Antalcidas that it was expedient for Artaxerxes to support the Lacedaeonians, and he according gave them all the help which he could venture to furnish without express authority from his master. We do not know the cause which led to Tiribazus being superseded by Struthas, in B. C. 392; but by B. C. 388 he had returned to his satrapy. He co-operated cordially, as before
