t might criticize the governor and forward its
criticisms to the Emperor at Rome.

_Protagoras_, a famous sophist of Abdera (latter half of fifth
century).

_dilemma._ See note on Apologia, chap. 9, _self-inconsistency_. A
closely parallel story is told of Corax and Tisias, rhetoricians
slightly earlier in date.

_Thales of Miletus_, the first of the great mathematicians and
physical philosophers of Greece: one of the seven sages. He flourished
towards the end of the seventh century B.C.

CHAPTER 19. _Asclepiades_, a famous physician from Bithynia, of the
first half of the first century B.C.

CHAPTER 20. _The first cup_, &c. The wise author of this saying was,
according to Diog. Laert, i. 72, Anacharsis.

_Empedocles._ See note on Apologia, chap. 27.

_Epicharmus_, a famous comic poet of Megara in Sicily. He flourished
early in the fifth century B.C.

_Xenocrates._ Diog. Laert. mentions five writers of this name, none of
them of any great importance. It is possible that we should read
_Xenophanes_, who, according to Diog. Laert. ix. 10, wrote _silli_, a
form of lampoon or satire. He was the founder of the Eleatic school
and probably flourished about 500 B.C.

CHAPTER 22. _Crates pure and simple_, i.e. by his renunciation of the
world described in chap. 15.

CHAPTER 24. The MSS. give this as a prologue to the de deo Socratis.
It belongs, however, manifestly to the Florida.

_Aristippus_, founder of the Cyrenaic school, a friend and younger
contemporary of Socrates.
