CHRISTOPHER BARON

University of Notre Dame

Patronymic, father of TIMON (7.141.1). Timon was a prominent citizen of DELPHI and perhaps a representative (PROXENOS) of ATHENS there who advised the Athenians about approaching the ORACLE in 480 BCE. Androbulus’ name (“Counselor of manly things”) is remarkably suited to Timon’s actions, one of numerous so‐called “speaking names” in the Histories (see Lateiner 2005, 43–45).
