Zarmanochegas (Greek: Ζαρμανοχηγάς; according to Strabo[1]) or Zarmarus (according to Dio Cassius[1]) was a gymnosophist (naked philosopher), a monk of the Sramana tradition (possibly, but not necessarily a Buddhist) who, according to ancient historians such as Strabo and Dio Cassius, met Nicholas of Damascus in Antioch in the first years of Augustus' rule over the Roman Empire, and shortly thereafter proceeded to Athens where he burnt himself to death.[2][3] He is estimated to have died in 19 BC.
