PHaedo, an Elean, born of a noble Fa∣mily, being taken in the general Sack of his Country, was constrain'd for a live∣lihood to keep a small Victualing-House, to which, after he had got him a little Door, he enjoy'd Socrates for his Bed-fel∣low
and Master, till Alcibiades or Crito, by the persuasion of Socrates, redeem'd him from that Penury; and from that time forward he apply'd himself with great diligence to the study of Philoso∣phy. He wrote several Dialogues, which are undoubtedly acknowledg'd to be his. But his Zopyrus, Simo, and Nicias are cal∣led in question. His Medus is said to have been written by Aeschines, or as some will have it, by Polyaenus: His Antimachus is controverted: And his Scythian Pro∣verbs are attributed to Aeschines. His Successor was Plistinus of Eleia, and after him the Disciples of Menedemus of Eretri∣cum, and Asclepiades the Phthiasian, Suc∣cessor to Stilpo, till their time call'd Eliaci, but then again from Menedemus, Eretrici. But of him more hereafter, in regard he was the head and founder of that Sect.
