Apollodorus Logisticus

Apollodorus Logisticus was a man of ancient Greece who appears to have been a mathematician, if as is usually supposed, he is the same as the one who is called Arithmetikos (ἀριθμητικός).[1][2]

Whether he is the same as the Apollodotus of whom Plutarch quotes two lines, is not quite certain.[3]
