Xenon

5. An Achaean, a native of Aegium, was twice despatched to Rome, in company with Telecles, on behalf of the Achaeans who were detained in Italy. (Plb. 32.7, 33.1.) It seems more likely that the same Xenon is referred to in both passages, than that Xenon of Patrae should be meant in the former. In the latter case Xenon of Patrae must of course have been a different person front the Xenon mentioned by Pausanias.
