Stromata
Peripatetic philosopher in the succession after Strato.
Him Theophrastus succeeds, him Strato, him Lyco, then Critolaus, then Diodorus.
Indeed, Lyco the Peripatetic said the true joy of the soul is the end, as Leucimus said the joy over noble things.
On Moral Ends
Strato's successor as Peripatetic head, criticized as stylistically rich but substantively thin.
His successor, Lyco, is rich in language, but rather meagre in the things themselves.
Tusculan Disputations
Peripatetic philosopher cited for downplaying the causes of distress to bodily and external discomforts.
Who, extenuating distress, says that it is moved by small things, by the discomforts of fortune and of the body, not by the evils of the mind.
