Aristophanes, a Boeotian (Plut. de Malign. Herod.), of whom Suidas (s. vv. Homoloios, Thebaious horous; comp. Steph. Byz. s. v. Antikonduleis) mentions the second book of a work on Thebes (Thebaika). Another work bore the name of Boiotika, and the second book of it is quoted by Suidas. (s. v. Chaironeia)
Armenidas or Armenides, a Greek author, who wrote a work on Thebes (Thebaika), which is referred to by the Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius (i. 551) and Stephanus Byzantius. (s. v. Hhaliartos. But whether his work was written in prose or in verse, and at what time the author lived, cannot be ascertained.
Cephisodorus, an Athenian orator, a most eminent disciple of Isocrates, wrote
an apology for Isocrates against Aristotle. The work against Aristotle was in
four books, under the title of hai pros Aristotele antigraphai. He also attacked
Plato.
A writer of the same name is mentioned by the Scholiast on Aristotle
(Eth. Nicom. iii. 8) as the author of a history of the Sacred War. As the disciples
of Isocrates paid much attention to historical composition, Ruhnken conjectures
that the orator and the historian were the same person (Hist. Crit. Orat. Graec.38).
There is a Cephisodorus, a Theban, mentioned by Athenaeus (xii.) as an historian.
It is possible that he may be the same person. If so, we must suppose that Cephisodorus
was a native of Thebes, and settled at Athens as a metoikos: but this is mere
conjecture.
