Note 24 — Chapter III · HISTORY OF THE STOICS UNTIL THE END OF THE SECOND CENTURY B.C.

Herillus’s native place was Carthage (Diog. vii. 37; 165). If Χαλχηδόνιος is read by Cobet in the last passage, we have again the same confusion between Καλχηδὼν and Καρχηδὼν, which made Xenocrates a Καρχηδόνιος. He came as a boy under Zeno (Diog. 166; Cic. Acad. ii. 42, 129). Diog. l.c. enumerates the writings of Herillus, calling them, however, ὀλιγόστιχα μὲν δυνάμεως δὲ μεστά. Cic. De Orat. iii. 17. 62, speaks of a School bearing his name, but no pupil belonging to it is known. ↑
