Against Macartatus
Son of the elder Hagnias, father of the later Hagnias, and brother of Phylomache, whose sibling relationship is disputed.
To Hagnias was born a son, Polemon, and a daughter, Phylomachê, sister of Polemon by the same father and the same mother;
To Polemon, son of Hagnias, was born a son, Hagnias, having the name of his grandfather Hagnias, and this second Hagnias died without issue.
Again, then, I ask you, men of the jury, which is nearer of kin and more closely related to the first Hagnias, Hagnias, the son of Polemon, and Eubulides, the son of Phylomachê and Philagrus, or Theopompus, the son of Charidemus and grandson of Stratius?
Stromata
Academic philosopher.
Xenocrates, treating the subject specially in his work On Nourishment from Animals, and Polemon in his treatises On Life according to Nature, seem clearly to say that nourishment through flesh is unprofitable, since, being already worked over, it assimilates to the souls of the irrational creatures.
