His Death.

HE died in the 82 year of his age by a fall in the night into a Basin,a 1.1 (wherein he was drown'd) probably in the first yeare of the 116. Olympiad, for in that year Polemo his Successour took upon him the School.

Laertius saith, there were six more of this name, but mentions only five. One, very antient, skilfull in Tacticks; another of the same City and Family with this Philosopher, Author of the O∣ration upon the death of Arsinoe; the fourth, saith he, a Philoso∣pher, who writ in Elegiack verse, but not happily, perhaps the same, who, Suidas saith, was nothing inferiour to this Xenocrates for Continence; the fist a Statuary, the ••ixt, a writer of Songs, as Aristoxenus affirm.
