Brill's New Pauly, 2004: volume 4, column 1033 (Ephippus of Olynthus, at the court of Alexander the Great during the final years; he later wrote an anecdotal work "On the life and death of Hephaestion and Alexander;" as all extant fragments derive from Athenaeus, they for the most part describe banquets ... Identification of E. with an officer of Alexander in Egypt is erroneously based)
