Pythis

a sculptor, who made the marble quadriga, by which the celebrated Mausoleum was surmounted. (Plin. Nat. 36.5. s. 4.9). Considering the close resemblance of this sculptor's name, in Pliny, to some of the readings of the name of the architect of the Mausoleum, in Vitruvius, it seems not improbable that they may have been the same person. [PHILEUS.]
