	phocylides (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
		Phocylides, Greek gnomic poet of Miletus, contemporary of Theognis, was born about 560 BC.
		A few fragments of his "maxims" have survived (chiefly in the Florilegium of Stobaeus), in which he expresses his contempt for the pomps and vanities of rank and wealth, and sets forth in simple language his ideas of honour, justice and wisdom.
		The Jewish element is shown in verbal agreement with passages of the Old Testament (especially the book of Sirach); the Christian by the doctrine of the immortality of the soul and the resurrection of the body.

		Wargentin is a strong candidate for the title of the Moon’s most peculiar crater because it is so strange.
		Wargentin is one of three close-spaced craters (Nasmyth and Phocylides are the other two) just southwest of Schickard.
		Phocylides and Nasmyth are normal older craters that have been shallowed by some infilling material so that their central peaks have been buried.
