Timocrates
4. A Rhodian, who was sent into Greece by the satrap Tithraustes in B. C. 395, taking with him fifth talents wherewith to bribe the leading men in the several states to excite a war against Sparta at home, and so to compel the return of Agesilaus from his victorious career in Asia. Plutarch calls him Hermocrates (Xen. Hell. 3.5.1; Paus. 3.9; Plut. Artax. 20.)
