Atyanas won the boxing competition in 72 BC and is listed in Phlegon's summary of the 177th Olympiad. Phlegon's Olympiad chronicle was summarized by the 9th-century Byzantine scholar Photios, who provides the one for the 177th Olympiad.[1]

Cicero says[2] that he was killed by pirates while L. Valerius Flaccus[3] was governor of Asia.
