		Lacydes was rather stingy, and in a manner the proverbial Economist; for this man, who was in such general good repute, used to open his storeroom himself and shut it himself.
		'So Lacydes, when he had left his vessels full and found them empty, was puzzled by what occurred; and when he heard that the doctrine of incomprehensibility was taught in the philosophy of Arcesilaus, he thought that this was the very thing that was occurring in regard to his storeroom.

		The Heads of the Academy after Arcesilaus were, in order, Lacydes, Telecles, Evander, and Hegesinus.
		Little is known about their views, though it appears that they accepted some variant of Arcesilaus' skepticism.
