Diodorus
5. Of ASPENDUS, a Pythagorean philosopher, who probably lived after the time of Plato, and must have been still alive in Ol. 104, for he was an acquaintance of Stratonicus, the musician, who lived at the court of Ptolemy Lagi. Diodorus is said to have adopted the Cynic mode of living. (Iambilich. Vit. Pythay. 36; Athen. 4.163; Bentley, Phalar. p. 62, ed. London, 1777.)
