Diodorus

Diodorus, freedom from pain.

To Diodorus

There has reached me a letter bearing the inscription of Diodorus, but the rest of it more fitting to be some other man's than Diodorus's.

Diodorus, as a nursling of the blessed Silvanus, we received from the beginning;

Him Theophrastus succeeds, him Strato, him Lyco, then Critolaus, then Diodorus.

They say also that Antiphon of Rhamnus, son of Sophilus, first found out the discourses of the schools and the rhetorical idioms, and first pleaded for pay, writing a forensic speech for publication, as Diodorus says.

And Diodorus likewise, being of the same school, declares the end to be to live without disturbance and nobly.

and Aristotle, Polybius, and Diodorus give the names of Kings to the Suffetes or Judges of the Carthaginians.

the former of whom calls such obsolete pretentions, empty talking, and the latter treats them as idle tales and fables.

Diodorus bestows an encomium upon the Indians, who, in all their wars with each other, forbore destroying or even hurting those employed in husbandry, as being the common benefactors of all.

With this plan in view Callias sent ambassadors hither, Glaucetes, Empedon, and Diodorus the long distance runner, who brought to the people empty hopes, but silver to Demosthenes and his following.

And yet I had others, troublesome to you but petty — Stilpo, Diodorus, Alexinus, whose are certain twisted and barbed sophisms (for so are called fallacious little conclusions).

’ Be on your guard, Chrysippus, lest you abandon your own cause, in which you have a great struggle with Diodorus, a powerful dialectician.

But let us return to that contention of Diodorus, which they call peri dynatōn, in which it is inquired what force there is in that which can come to pass.

But if you approve those divine predictions, then among the things that shall be pronounced false regarding the future you will hold that they cannot come to pass, and, if a thing is truly said about the future, and it is so going to be, you will say it is necessary—which is the whole opinion of Diodorus, hostile to your school.

Dinomachus and Callipho coupled pleasure with honour, but Diodorus the Peripatetic joined freedom from pain to honour.

The same will be the opinion of Callipho and Diodorus, each of whom so embraces honour that he holds that all things which are without it are to be set far behind.

—as though you would believe them off-hand, and would have no regard to the truth of the matter that, to begin with, Lysistratus and Paseas and Niceratus and Diodorus, who have expressly testified that they saw me being beaten by Conon, stripped of my cloak, and suffering all the other forms of brutal outrage I experienced—men, remember, who were unacquainted with me and who happened on the affair …

To Amytheon’s sister, who married Diodorus of Halae, was born a son Ctesibius, and he was killed in Abydus while serving in the campaign with Thrasybulus.

Here, then, is an accusation brought against Timocrates by Timocrates, not by Diodorus nor by any other of the great multitude of citizens.

Of Diodorus, the Epicurean philosopher, who within a few days put an end to his own life with his own hand, they deny that he acted in accordance with the teaching of Epicurus, because he cut his own throat.

We read it in Cassius Severus, in the Cornelii Nepos and Tacitus, among the Greeks too in Diodorus, and whoever else have collected the hoary records of antiquity.

Saturn, then — so far as letters teach, neither Diodorus the Greek nor Thallus, neither Cassius Severus nor Cornelius Nepos, nor any chronicler of antiquities of this kind, has set forth as anything but a man;

The consequence was that Diodorus set off to visit Hermogenes;

Thank you, Socrates, said Diodorus, pray bid Hermogenes call on me.

Again I recall the following conversation between him and his companion Diodorus.
