De Anima
Peripatetic philosopher cited both for the soul's unity and for locating its ruling faculty in the membranes or eyebrows.
for they too maintain the unity of the soul, which, diffused through the whole body and everywhere itself, like breath in a pipe through its holes, so flashes forth through the organs of sense in various ways — not so much cut up as dispensed.
nor yet about the base of the brain, as Herophilus holds, nor in the little membranes, as Strato and Erasistratus, nor in the middle space of the eyebrows, as Strato the Natural Philosopher, nor in the whole breastplate of the chest, as Epicurus — but where both the Egyptians reported it, and those who were held to be commentators on divine things, as in that verse of Orpheus or Empedocles:
Strato, a segregation of the implanted spirit;
Academica

Greek philosopher, pupil of Theophrastus, called the natural philosopher, who located divine power in nature itself.
Nor is his pupil Strato — he who is called the natural philosopher — to be listened to, who holds that all divine power resides in nature, which has the causes of generating, increasing, and diminishing, but is without all sensation and shape.
Against Lacritus
Father of Archenomides of Thria.
In addition to these, written affidavits were submitted by Euphiletus, son of Damotimus, of Aphidnae, Hippias, son of Timoxenus, of Thymaetadae, Sostratus, son of Philip, of Histiaea, Archenomides, son of Strato, of Thria.
Against Meidias
Poor Athenian arbitrator whose default judgment against Meidias led to his removal and disfranchisement.
Call also Strato, the victim of this persecution, for no doubt he will be allowed to stand up in court.
Estimate what loss Meidias must have suffered before he could plan such a dire revenge against a fellow-citizen;
the other is unscathed and is playing havoc with the laws, the arbitrators, and everything else that he pleases.
Adversus Marcionem
Greek philosopher credited with holding heaven and earth to be divine.
as Thales water, Heraclitus fire, Anaximenes air, Anaximander all the heavenly bodies, Strato heaven and earth, Zeno air and aether, Plato the stars (which kind of gods he calls fiery) — when, considering of the world its greatness and force and power and honour and beauty, the resource, the constancy, the law of the several elements, which conspire to the begetting, nourishing, completing, and re …
