Alexarchus (historian)

Alexarchus or Alexarch (Greek: Ἀλέξαρχος) was an ancient Greek historian,[1] who wrote a work on the history of Italy, of which Plutarch quotes the third book.

[2] Servius mentions an opinion of his respecting the origin of the names Epeirus and Campania, which unquestionably belonged to his work on Italy.

[3] The writer of this name, whom Plutarch mentions in another passage, is probably a different person.
