Brill's New Pauly: "Dion,Cocceianus of Prusa Orator and philosopher in the 1st cent. AD, from Prusa (also called Chrysostomus),
He came from a rich and distinguished family and was active first as a sophist and enemy of philosophy, but then became a student of the Stoic Musonius...
Of D.'s writings, a collection of 80 speeches and lectures is extant (37 and 64 were written by D.'s student Favorinus) which, apparently, were published posthumously
(some of them obviously lack a final revision). D.'s work distinguishes itself through a great variety of topics: ‘moral lectures’ from the realm of moral philosophy appear
alongside with speeches with political admonitions and statements about the issues of the time, and essays of literary criticism appear alongside sophist declamations
and theological and cosmological discussions....."
