Nicanor of Syria
Nicanor (/naɪˈkeɪnər/; Greek: Nικάνωρ Nikā́nōr) was a Syrian Greek who lived in the 3rd century BCE under Seleucid Empire.
Together with a Gaul named Apaturius, he assassinated Seleucus III Ceraunus during his expedition into Asia against Attalus I in 222 BCE. He was immediately seized and executed by order of the general Achaeus.
