Sarkeuthite ̄s/os (250 BCE – 80 CE)
A, in G CMLoc 6.4 (13.927 K.), records an “extractive” plaster (of
bdellium, ammo ̄niakon incense, and natron in beeswax, olive oil, salt water, and tere-
binth) under this otherwise unattested name (LGPN, Pape-Benseler). Various emendations
of the name are possible, perhaps the most likely being T “S” (cited
just 27 lines above); other possibilities include an ethnic of the city Arkeuthe ̄s of Lukaonia,
an Illyrian name “Skarditheute ̄s” (cf. names in Skerd-/Skord-, P 2.5.6, and those in
Theut-/Teuth-, Polubios 2.6.3), or even a doubly-divine Egyptian name, Serkhou-Tho ̄th
(Heuser 1929: 57–58).

Saturos (Lithika) (325 BCE – 77 CE)
Lapidary writer of uncertain identity whose On stones is cited by P (37.91 and 94) regard-
ing onyx and syrtite. Whether the homonymous poet, quoted again by P 37.31 on
electrum, together with Aeschylus, Philoxenos, Euripide ̄s and N K,
is our man is also disputed.

Eugenio Amato
Saturos of Kallatis (200 – 150 BCE?)
Wrote a series of biographies of which only part of his Life of Euripides has been transmitted
in a papyrus fragment. His biographies of philosophers are mainly preserved in D
L. Saturos seems not to have offered much information about philosophical ideas.

Saturos of Paros (360 – 340 BCE)
Son of Isotimos of Paros. He was a sculptor, architect, and author who collaborated with
P on the Mausso ̄lleion at Halikarnassos, one of the seven ancient wonders of the
world. V cites their commentary on the building (7.pr.12–13). Saturos is also
known from an inscribed statue base at Delphi that supported images of Ada and Idrieus,
younger sister and brother of Mausso ̄llos and Artemisia (ruled Halikarnassos 351– 344 BCE),
which he sculpted. His name ( probably the same person) appears in building accounts for
the sanctuary of Askle ̄pios at Epidauros.
