1 When he flourished is unknown. He is said by Hyginus to have 
written a History of the Island of Naxos. 
2 He lived after the time of Alexander the Great ; but his age is un- 
known. He wrote a book, irepl voariov^ on the returns of the Grreeks 
from their various expeditions, an account of Delos, a History of Alex- 
ander the Great, and other works, all of which have perished. 
3 Of Heraclsea, in Pontus. He was a pupil of Plato, and, after him, 
of Aristotle. His works upon philosophy, history, mathematics, and 
other subjects, were very numerous ; but, unfortunately, they are nearly 
all of them lost. He wrote a Treatise upon Islands, and another upon 
the Origin of Cities. 
* A geographical writer, of whom nothing further is knovm. 
^ The Greek historian, the disciple of Socrates, deservedly styled the 
" Attic Bee." His principal works are the Anabasis, or the History of 
the Expedition of the younger Cyrus and the Retreat of the Ten Thou- 
sand ; the HeUenica, or History of Greece, from the time when that of 
Thucydides ends to the battle of Mantinea, B.C. 362 ; and the Cyropsedia, 
or Education of Cyrus. The greater portion of his works is now lost.

s There were two physicians of this name, one of Catana, in Sicily, the 
other of Dyrrhachium, in lUyricum, who, Hke his namesake, was the 
author of numerous works. It is doubtful, however, whether Pliny here 
refers to either of those authors. 
^ A Greek historian, quoted by Dionysius of Halicarnassus. If the 
same person as the father of the historian Nymphis, he must have Hved 
in the early part of the second century B.C. He wrote a work on Islands, 
and another entitled Xpox/oi, or Chronicles. 
1^ A Greek geographer, who seems to have written an account of Cyprus. 
He is quoted by Strabo, Athenseus, and the Schohasts ; but all that 
is known of him is, that he wrote a work on Thessaly, ^oha, Attica, 
and Arcadia. 
12 He wrote a work relative to Miletus ; but nothing further is known 
of him. 13 gee end of B. iii.
