Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Son of Lachares; of Athens. Sophist. A pupil of Heracleon of Athens;[1] he taught many pupils, among whom Eustephius,[2] Nicolaus[3] and Asterius[4] are well-known. Floruit under the emperors Marcianus and Leon. He wrote On Colon, Comma and Period; informal discourses; a history according to Cornutus;[5] Rhetorical Selections (alphabetically arranged).
Lachares the sophist was rather slow of speech, but handsome and fine in appearance; as to virtue, he deserves to be called a philosopher rather than a sophist. He was an especially pious man, and having lost his sight he regained it.[6]

[5] Perhaps 'a history ...; Art of Rhetoric according to Cornutus'. Graeven (1891) argued that the rhetorical treatise known as the Anonymus Seguerianus is an epitome of a work by an early third-century rhetorician named Cornutus, cited in Lachares' On Colon, Comma and Period.
