Translated headword: Timarchos, Timarchus
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Son of Arizelos; a profligate and a catamite. He first spent his time in Peiraieus with Euthydikos, but later hired himself out to Misgolas and to Hegesandros, the beloved of Leodamas,[1] and together with them associated with Pittalakos, the public slave. He was chosen as a guardian, but Aristogeiton objected and he was prevented [sc. from acting in that capacity]. He repudiated his uncle, a blind man who was eligible for support as disabled, and he did not even protect his mother when she was in need of basics.[2] In his old age he was convicted by Aeschines of prostitution.

Notes:
C4 BCE. Between the introductory and concluding sentences, some of this material derives (ultimately) from Aeschines 1.40ff (web address 1), but see n.2 below.
[1] cf. mu 1111, where this statement is misleadingly compressed.
[2] For the uncle, Arignotos, see Aeschines 1.102-4 (web address 2) -- but there is nothing there (or anywhere else in the speech) about Aristogeiton, for whose speech Against Timarchos see alpha 3912. Fisher (below) 22-3 notes that the attested activity of Aristogeiton does not begin until 338 (i.e. several decades after Timarchos came of age), and he tentatively suggests that this guardianship case was a later one, unconnected with Arignotos.
