On the Mysteries
A slave informer who stated that Mysteries were celebrated in Pulytion’s house and received the main reward.
His name was Andromachus.
Such was the statement of Andromachus, the first of the informers.
Crassus
A guide, described as the most faithless of men, whom Crassus trusts with the secret escape plan; he betrays the Romans to the Parthians and leads them into marshes.
But Andromachus, the most faithless of men, learned of it, for Crassus not only confided the secret to him, but made him the guide for the journey.
With these he got back into the road, with great difficulty, when the enemy at once pressed upon him, and since he was about twelve furlongs short of a junction with Octavius, he took refuge on another hill, not so difficult for cavalry nor yet so strong a position, but one that lay below Sinnaca and was connected with it by a long ridge running through the midst of the plain.
Timoleon
Ruler of Tauromenium, father of Timaeus the historian, who shelters and aids Timoleon.
Therefore at this time also he allowed Timoleon to make the city a base of operations, and persuaded his citizens to join the Corinthians in their struggle to set Sicily free.
Nevertheless, they sent an envoy aboard a trireme to Tauromenium, who, after a long conversation with Andromachus, in which he menaced him in insolent barbaric fashion if he did not expel the Corinthians as soon as possible, finally showed him his hand with the palm up, and then turning it down, threatened that he would turn his city as completely upside down.
And they put in at Tauromenium in Sicily, whither they had been earnestly invited some time ago, and where they were now kindly received by Andromachus, the master and ruler of the city.
Hellenica
Elean commander of horse held responsible for engaging the Arcadians in battle; kills himself after the Elean defeat.
