Apollonides of Nicaea


Apollonides of Nicaea lived in the time of the Roman emperor Tiberius, to whom he dedicated a commentary on the Silloi of the Pyrrhonist philosopher Timon of Phlius. Diogenes Laërtius, in his Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers, mentions Apollonides in a way that can be interpreted that both he and Apollonides were Pyrrhonists.
All of Apollonides' works are lost. In addition to the commentary on the Silloi these works include:
An Apollonides, without any statement as to what was his native country, is mentioned by Strabo, Pliny the Elder, and by the Scholiast on Apollonius of Rhodes, as the author of a work called Circumnavigation of Europe.
Stobaeus quotes some senarii from an Apollonides who may be the same person as Apollonides of Nicaea.
