Therefore they use single ends, and, though each speaks Greek admirably, neither does Aristippus, who calls pleasure the highest good, place freedom from pain in pleasure, nor does Hieronymus, who sets the highest good as freedom from pain, ever use the name of pleasure for that painlessness — since indeed he does not even count pleasure among things to be sought.

On Moral Ends
Peripatetic philosopher who held freedom from pain to be the highest good.
this Hieronymus said is the highest good.
Therefore they use single ends, and, though each speaks Greek admirably, neither does Aristippus, who calls pleasure the highest good, place freedom from pain in pleasure, nor does Hieronymus, who sets the highest good as freedom from pain, ever use the name of pleasure for that painlessness — since indeed he does not even count pleasure among things to be sought.
For if he says the same as Hieronymus, who holds that the highest good is to live without any annoyance, why does he prefer to say 'pleasure' rather than 'freedom from pain,' as Hieronymus does, who understands what he says?
Anabasis
Epitalian captain wounded during the Thynian night attack.
and they wounded Hieronymus the Epitalian, a captain, and Theogenes the Locrian, also a captain;
Then Hieronymus the Elean, who was the eldest of Proxenus’ captains, began to speak as follows:
On the following day all the soldiers held a meeting, the chief movers in the matter being Agasias the Stymphalian, a captain, Hieronymus the Elean, also a captain, and some others from among the eldest of the Arcadians.
Tusculan Disputations
Philosopher who held that freedom from pain alone is good
The rest seem to hold themselves more narrowly, yet they swim out — Epicurus, Hieronymus, and any who care to defend that deserted Carneadean end;
For the cause which seems to you Epicurus' will be the same of Hieronymus and Carneades, and, by Hercules, of all the rest.
nothing good save freedom from pain, as Hieronymus;
Lucullus
Peripatetic philosopher who held freedom from distress as the end of goods.
freedom from all distress, Hieronymus;
Stromata
Peripatetic philosopher who held the end to be living without disturbance.
and Hieronymus the Peripatetic said the end is to live without disturbance, but the final good is happiness alone.
On the False Embassy
Philip's champion whom Aeschines claimed to have answered at Megalopolis.
It was he who afterwards, on his return from Arcadia, gave a report of the fine long orations which he said he had delivered as your spokesman before the Ten Thousand at Megalopolis in reply to Philip’s champion Hieronymus, and he made a long story of the enormous harm which corrupt statesmen in the pay of Philip were doing not only to their own countries but to the whole of Greece.
The Rights of War and Peace
King of Syracuse cited as an example of a convention requiring state ratification.
Livy relates that Hieronymus, king of Syracuse, having entered into a convention with Hannibal, sent afterwards to Carthage to have it converted by the state into a league.
