Ἀρασίμανδρος

The name is attested only in this instance. It should be noted that the second element either derived from the theonym Μάνδρος or, according to recent studies, from a hydronym. The name holds a significant place in the onomastics of Ionia. The earliest attestation appears in the 7th century BCE on Chios in the compound Μανδραγόρης. It is therefore plausible that this Theran anthroponym from the early 6th century BCE implies connections with Ionia (cf. Inglese 2003, chapter 3).
