* He is said to have written an epic poem, called Arimaspeia, full of 
marvellous stories respecting the Arimaspi and the golden regions. See

6 He was a native of Nicsea, in Bithynia, and the author of some works, 
characterized as being full of incredible stories. Cyril, however, says, 
that he was born at Cittium, and Gellius styles him a writer of no small 
authority. He is generally looked upon as belonging to the class of writers 
called Paradoxographi.

12 Strabo, in B. ii. speaks of a Periplus of Europe, written by a person

Cos, who practised at the court of Artaxerxes Longimanus, where he was 
eventually put to death. 
A Greek historian of the reign of Ptolemy Euergetes, and said by 
dijJerent authors to have been a native of Athens, Naucratis in Egypt, and 
Sicyon. He wrote a work on history, of considerable value, though his 
credit as an historian has been violently attacked by Polybius.

21 Of Samos, a descendant of Alcibiades, who flourished in the time of 
Ptolemy Philadelphus. When a boy, he gained a pugilistic victory at 
Olympia. He eventually became tyrant of Samos ; but nothing further is 
known of his career. From what Pliny says, in c. 40. of B. iii., he is 
supposed to have been living in the year b.c. 281. He was the author 
of a history of Greece, and other historical works, of which, however, we 
possess no remains.
