Note 988 — Chapter X · ECLECTICISM AND REACTION
Reading edition
Aristoxenos said he was a Samian (R. P. 219 a). In Menon’s Iatrika he is called a Krotoniate, while others assign him to Rhegion or Metapontion. This probably means that he was affiliated to the Pythagorean medical school. The evidence of Aristoxenos is, in that case, all the more valuable. Hippon is mentioned along with Melissos in Iamblichos’s Catalogue of Pythagoreans (V. Pyth. 267).
