Acesander

Ἀκέσανδρος

(Ἀκέσανδρος) wrote a history of Cyrene. (Schol. ad Apoll. 4.1561, 1750; ad Pind. Pyth. iv. init. 57.) Plutarch (Symp. 5.2.8) speaks of a work of his respecting Libya (περὶ Ἀιβύης), which may probably be the same work as the history of Cyrene. The time at which he lived is unknown.
