About Agreophon
Lived 299 – 301 (aged 1–2). Agreophon was a writer and philologist.
Agresphon , or possibly Agreophon, was an ancient Greek grammarian mentioned in the Suda. He wrote a work on persons with homonymous names, sometimes called in English On Namesakes .
Agresphon cannot have lived earlier than the reign of Hadrian, as in his work he spoke of an Apollonius who lived in the time of that emperor. Scholars generally date him to the late 3rd or early 4th century.
Another, unrelated Agreophon who was father of Zenon around the 3rd century BC is mentioned frequently in the papyri of the Zenon Archive.
