Aretades
(
Ἀρητάδης), of Cnidus, of uncertain date, wrote a work on Macedonian affairs (
Μακεδονικά) in three books at least, and another on the history of islands (
νησιωτικά) in two books at least. (Plut.
Parall. 11, 27.)
It is uncertain whether the Aretades referred to by Porphyry (apud
Euseb. Praep. Ev. 10.3), as the author of a work
Περὶ συνεμπτώσεως, is the same as the above or not.
