Nicostratus
2. A dramatic writer mentioned by Diogenes Laertius (4.18). He bore the nickname of Κλυταιμνήοτρα, and is probably a different person from the preceding. Meineke is inclined to believe him to have been the author of the Theseis, mentioned by Diogenes Laertius (2.59), though some MSS. there have the reading Πυθόστρατος.
