This man was a skilled painter, of Thasian nationality, a son and pupil of Aglaophon, who secured Athenian citizenship either because he painted the Stoa Poikile free of charge or, as some [say], the pictures in the Theseion[1] and the Anakeion.

Notes:
Abridged from Harpokration s.v., commenting in the first instance on the mention of P. in Lycurgus fr. 44 Conomis. See also Photius, Lexicon pi1035 Theodoridis.
For Polygnotus (C5 BCE) see generally OCD4 s.v.; for the Stoa Poikile see pi 1469, with further references there.
[1] The transmitted text, in all the lexica, is 'in the treasury'; this is Valckenaer's (standard) emendation.
