Vetting Status: high
Translation: Son of
Nikomakhos and Phaistias.
Nikomakhos was a physician in the tradition of the Asklepiads, from
Nikomakhos the son of Makhaon.[1] [
Aristotle came] from Stageira, a city of Thrace;[2] he was a philosopher, a disciple of
Plato, with a stammering voice. He had siblings Arimnestos and Arimneste, and a daughter by Pythias, the daughter of Hermeias the eunuch, who fathered her despite his being castrated.[3] The daughter of
Aristotle married three times and after giving birth predeceased her father
Aristotle. He also had a son
Nikomakhos from Herpyllis his concubine, *whom he took after Pythias the daughter of Hermeias the eunuch, who was a ruler of
Atarneus. This place [is located] in the Troad, and having become a slave of Euboulos the Bithynian, Hermeias received [it from him].[4] And Hermeias himself became the lover of
Aristotle.*[5] He presided for 13 years[6] over the philosophy which was called Peripatetic; it acquired this name because he taught on a walking path [
peripatos] or in a garden after he left the Academy, in which
Plato taught. He was born in the 99th Olympiad[7] and died by drinking aconite in Chalkis [
Myth,
Place], because he was being summoned to receive punishment, since he had written a paean to Hermeias the eunuch;[8] but some say he died of disease when he had lived 70 years.
