Archemacchus

Ἀρχέμαχος

(Ἀρχέμαχος), of Euboea, wrote a work on his native country, which consisted at least of three books. (Strab. x. p.465; Athen. 6.264a.; Clem. Alex. Strom. i. p. 327a. ed. Paris, 1629; Harpocrat. s. v. Κοτύλαιον ό̀ρος; Plut. de Is. et Osir. 100.27.) Whether this Archelaus was the author of the grammatical work Αἱ Μετωνυμίαι (Schol. ad Apolloon. Rhod. 4.262), is uncertain.
