Adler number: theta,385
Translated headword: Thimbron, Thibron
Vetting Status: high

Greek Original:*qi/mbrwn, *lakedaimo/nios. ou(=tos h)=n pemfqei\s ei)s th\n *)asi/an a(rmosth\s meta\ ta\ *peloponnhsiaka/.
Notes:
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.
[1] In Greek, a harmost.
