"Autolycus, a mathematician, who is said to have been a native of
Pitane...he wrote two astronomical treatises, which are still extant..." Smith, Volume 1, pg.

"Autolycus, 3, .... Teacher of Arcesilaus, the founder of the ‘Middle
Academy’ ( Diog. Laert. 4,29 ), lived around 310 BC. Next to his contemporary Euclides, he is
the earliest mathematician and astronomer of whom some works have been preserved. Both of the
works by A. are instructional texts concerning the geometry of the sphere and its application
in astronomy
they deal with the basic principles of comprehending the motion of the fixed
stars in mathematical terms...." from Brill's New Pauly, Folkerts, Menso (München).
