Zenon

10. A native of Alexandria, of Jewish extraction, mentioned by Suidas. He renounced his connection with the Jews. He is described as a worthy man in point of character, but as remarkably forgetful of what lie attempted to learn, though he exhibited a perpetual anxiety to make himself acquainted with that of which he was ignorant.
