Pancrates of Athens
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Pancrates (Greek: Παγκρατης; fl. c. 140 AD) of Athens, was a Cynic philosopher. Philostratus relates, that when the celebrated sophist Lollianus was in danger of being stoned by the Athenians in a tumult about bread, Pancrates quieted the mob by exclaiming that Lollianus was not a bread-dealer (Greek: ἀρτοπώλης) but a word-dealer (Greek: λογοπώλης).[1] Alciphron also mentions a Cynic philosopher of this name in his fictitious letters.[2]
