Demetrius
3. A painter, whose time is unknown. (D. L. 5.83.) Perhaps he is the same who is mentioned by Diodorus (Exc. Vat. 31.8) as Δημήτριος ὁ τοπογράφος, or, as Müller reads, τοιχογράφος (Arch. d. Kunst. § 182, n. 2), and who lived at Rome about B. C. 164. Valerius Maximus calls him pictor Alexandrinus (5.1.1).
