Translation: Of Alexandria by adoption, although he was born in Samothrace. His father was
Aristarchus. He lived in the 156th Olympiad,[1] under
Ptolemy Philometor, to whose son he was also tutor. He is said to have written more than 800 books, counting only monographs. He was a pupil of
Aristophanes the grammarian,[2] and had very many disagreements with the grammarian
Crates of Pergamum[3] in Pergamum.[4] His pupils included about 40 grammarians. He died in
Cyprus, killing himself by starvation, because he was suffering from dropsy. He lived for 72 years. And he left two sons,
Aristarchus and
Aristagoras; both were simple-minded, with the result that
Aristarchus was actually sold; the Athenians bought his freedom when he came among them.
