Reading edition
By Timomachus, a Byzantine contemporary with Cæsar, who was his patron according to one passage in Pliny’s thirty-fifth book; but other passages, with, as I think, more likelihood, make him older than Apelles. On carefully comparing such authorities as we have on the subject, I cannot help thinking that there were two, if not three, painters of the name. Two seem to have been Thracians.
