Notes (1)

Abridged from Harpokration (and Photius) s.v., commenting on Isocrates 4.144.
The correct form of the name appears to be not 'Thimbron' (for which, besides here and Harpok., see Ephorus FGrH 70 F71 and Plutarch, Artaxerxes 20.3) but the 'Thibron' of his contemporaries Isocrates (loc.cit.) and, consistently, Xenophon.
1In Greek, a harmost. ↩
