Proclus or Proklos (Greek: Πρόκλος) was a teacher of rhetoric and a native of Naucratis in Hellenistic Egypt. He lived in the 2nd century AD. He was a man of distinction in his native city, but because of the civil commotions there he went to Athens while still young. There he became a pupil of Adrianus, and afterwards taught rhetoric himself. He had Philostratus as one of his pupils. It was his practice to allow anyone who paid down 100 drachmas at once admission to all his lectures. He also had a library which he allowed his pupils to use. In the style of his discourses he imitated Hippias and Gorgias. He was remarkable for the tenacity of his memory, which he retained even in extreme old age.

  • Procle de Nàucratis (llatí: Proclus, grec antic: Πρόκλος) fou un orador i retòric grec nascut a Nàucratis, a l'Egipte hel·lenístic, distingit a la seva ciutat, d'on va haver de marxar de jove pels conflictes locals que hi va haver i va anar a Atenes. Allà va ser instruït per Adrià de Tir i després va ensenyar eloqüència. Va tenir entre els seus deixebles a Filòstrat d'Atenes. Tenia diverses cases a Atenes i la rodalia, i importava mercaderies d'Egipte que venia a l'engròs a petits detallistes. A la mort de la seva dona i del seu fill es va aparellar amb una altra dona que es va apoderar del control de casa seva i per la seva mala gestió el va fer caure en el descrèdit, ja que venia el dret d'assistència a les seves ensenyances per 100 dracmes. Procle disposava d'una biblioteca de la qual els seus deixebles en podien fer ús. Els seus discursos imitaven els d'Hípies d'Elis i els de Gòrgies de Leontins. Tenia una gran memòria i la va conservar fins a la mort, que li va arribar a una edat molt avançada. El seu deixeble Filòstrat el va incloure en l'obra Vida dels sofistes (Βίοι Σοφιστω̂ν). (ca)

He possessed several houses in and near Athens, and imported considerable quantities of merchandise from Egypt, which he resold to local vendors. After the death of his wife and son he took a concubine. He entirely surrendered the control of his household to her, and was considerably discredited as a consequence of her mismanagement of it.
