Neronian Era of the Greek Anthology

NICARCHUS is the author of forty-two epigrams of the same kind as those of Lucilius. Another given under his name ("Anth. Pal." vii. 159) is of the early Alexandrian period, perhaps by Nicias of Miletus, as the converse mistake is made in the Palatine MS. with regard to xi. 398. A large proportion of his epigrams are directed against doctors. There is nothing to fix the precise part of the century in which he lived.
