Timosthenes of Aegilia
in the texts
Apollodorus Against Timotheus
Friend and partner of Phormio, owner of the Lycian bowls mistakenly given to Aeschrion.
About the same time Timosthenes of Aegilia also arrived home from a journey abroad which he had made on private business.
When Timosthenes reached home and asked for the return of the bowls, Timotheus being still abroad in the king’s service, my father persuaded him to accept the value of the bowls, as much as they were worth by weight, namely two hundred and thirty-seven drachmae.
but when he went off without having returned them, and the bowls of Timosthenes were no longer in the custody of Phormio, and the one who had deposited them came and demanded their return, my father paid the price of the bowls to Timosthenes, and wrote the defendant down as owing this sum in addition to the rest of his debt.
Olympian
Brother of Alcimedon, made renowned at Nemea, addressed directly at the opening of the Aeginetan ode.
Timosthenes, fortune has allotted you and your brother to the care of your ancestor Zeus, who made you renowned at Nemea, and made Alcimedon an Olympic victor beside the hill of Cronus.
