Zeno of Kition used to recite his discourses while pacing up and down the Painted Stoa [sc. in Athens], also [called the Stoa] of Peisianax, later named after the painting of the artist Polygnotos. Under the 30, 1400 citizens were killed in it. This then was where, henceforth, people came to hear him; and accordingly "Stoics" was the name both for them and for his own followers, who had hitherto been called Zenonians.
