1867, p. 932: "Damascius, the Syrian,
Brill's New Pauly: "Neoplatonist, last head of the Academy in Athens,
born around AD 462 in Damascus, studied rhetoric around 479/80 with a certain Theon in
Alexandria and there also was a member of the Platonist circle.......The works of D. can be divided into three groups:
a) those that are only known from references or allusions made by D. himself in his other writings
b) those that are known from other
authors: the most important work of this group is the ‘Life of Isidore’ (Βίος Ἰσιδώρου, Vita Isidori), known through notes made by Photius
(Bibliotheke, cod. 181
cod. 242) and extracts in the Suda....The ‘Treatise on First Principles’ and the commentary on the Parmenides are the two most important works of D.
Because of their presentation of the material and content, the question arises as to whether these two works are actually to be seen as separate."
