CHAP. V.
Other Chaldaean Philosophers.

FRom Zoroaster were derived the Chaldaean Magi and Philoso∣phers his Disciples; amongst whom,a 1.1 Pliny mentions one Azonaces Master of Zoroaster; which doubtless must have been meant of some later Zoroaster, there being many of that name, as we shewed formerly.

By the sameb 1.2 Author are mentioned of the antient Magi Mar∣maridius a Babylonian, and Zarmocenidas an Assyrian; of whom nothing is left but their names, no monuments extant of them.

To these addc 1.3 Zoromasdres a Chaldaean Philosopher, who wrote Ma∣thematicks and Physicks; and Teucer a Babylonian an ancient Author who wrote concerning the Decanates.

The Mathematicians also, saithd 1.4 Strabo, mention some of these, as Cidenas, and Naburianus, and Sudinus, and Seleucus of Seleucia a Chaldaean, and many other eminent persons.
