Pittacus
A native of Mitylene in Lesbos, and one of the seven wise men of Greece. He died in the eighty-second year of his age, about 570 years before Christ, the latter part of his life being spent in retirement. Many of his maxims were inscribed on the walls of Apollo's temple at Delphi, to show how high an opinion his countrymen entertained of his abilities as a moralist and philosopher.
Plancius, Cn. He was defended by Cicero B. C. 54, in an oration still extant, when he was accused of having practiced bribery in order to gain his election as curule aedile.
Plancus, L. Munatius. A Roman conspicuous for his follies and extravagance. He had been consul, and had presided over a province, but he forgot his dignity and became one of the most servile flatterers of Antony and Cleopatra.
