A lciphron was a Greek sophist, and one of the most eminent of the Greek epistolographers. We have no direct information of any kind respecting his life or the age in which he lived. Some assign him to the fifth century a.d. ;others, to the period between Lucian and A ristaenetus (170-350 A.D.); while others again are of opinion that he lived before Lucian. The only circumstance that suggests anything in regard to the period at which he lived is the fact that, amongst the letters of A ristaenetus, there are two which passed between Lucian and A lciphron; and, as A ristaenetus is generally trustworthy.
