		Chosroes, in his treaty of peace concluded with Justinian in 533, expressly stipulated that the seven philosophers should be allowed "to return to their own homes, and to live henceforward in the enjoyment of liberty of conscience" (Agathias ~ 30, 31).
		Simplicius is not an original thinker, but his remarks are thoughtful and intelligent and his learning is prodigious.

	Simplicius (print-only)
		Simplicius was born in Cilicia in southern Anatolia which had been a Roman province from the first century BC.
		It was therefore natural that Damascius, Simplicius and five other members of the Academy, when forced out of Athens, went to Persia to serve at the court of the Persian king Khosrow I. Khosrow was a great patron of culture and Simplicius was well received by the ruler.
		Simplicius is quoting from Eudemus's History of Astronomy in giving these details, but he does not quote directly from that work, rather quoting from Sosigenes (who wrote in the second century AD) who in turn quotes from Eudemus.

	Simplicius of Cilicia Summary
		Simplicius of Cilicia (in Asia Minor) tells us that he studied Platonic philosophy in Alexandria under Ammonius the son of Hermias (fl.
		In both aspects Simplicius is of immeasurable importance for the history of earlier Greek philosophy, for he, far more than any other commentator on Plato or Aristotle, took the trouble to go back both to the texts Aristotle quotes or alludes to as well as to the texts that comment on Aristotle.
		Simplicius, then, a scholar like few before him, read every relevant text that would illuminate Aristotle, who he argued should be seen as a complement to Plato's noble philosophy.

		Simplicius chose it for beginners, rather than Aristotle's "Ethics", because it presupposed no knowledge of logic.
		The text was relevant to Simplicius because he too, like Epictetus, was teaching beginners how to take the first steps towards eradicating emotion, although he is unlike Epictetus in thinking that they should give up public life rather than acquiesce, if public office is denied them.
		Simplicius starts from a Platonic definition of the person as rational soul, not body, ignoring Epictetus' further whittling down of himself to just his will or policy decisions.

		Simplicius was a prominent Neoplatonist philosopher in the sixth century.
		He was born Cilicia and studied philosophy at Alexandria and Athens.
		So then, whoever would make the man his care, must consult the advantage and improvement of the soul, and pursue the happiness peculiar to this: for he that bestows his pains upon the body, does not (it seems) advance himself, and his own good, (properly speaking) but only that of his Instrument.

	Hippocrates' Squaring of Lunes
		Thus Hippocrates squared every lune, seeing that he squared not only the lune which has for its outer circumference a semicircle, but also the lune in which the outer circumference is greater, and that in which it is less, than a semicircle.
		While this is true that Hippocrates did square three kinds of lunes, one for each of the cases where the outer arc is equal to, more than, and less than, the semicircle, the arcs were not random.
		Simplicius (and apparently Eudemus) in the abridged form that conformed with the ancient practice left out the whole matter of constructing the trapezoid.

		Thus we would know, for example, where and under what conditions Simplicius composed most of his commentary oeuvre, which was mainly written after the period of exile.
		Second, the fact that Simplicius claims never to have personally known Philoponus, who was active in Alexandria at the time.
		It might actually be a more decisive argument against Simplicius' return to Alexandria that we do not possess any evidence that would positively confirm his stay and literary activity in that city after his return from exile.

		Pingree then surveys the scholars whose credentials as students of Ptolemaic astronomy make them "potential candidates for the authorship either of the commentary itself that lies behind our scholia or of commentaries that contributed to it" (83), and many illustrious individuals are disqualified.
		By tracing the scholastic pedigree of Stephanus the Astronomer of the eight century and by closely examining the writings of Simplicius of Cilicia some two centuries earlier, however, Pingree succeeds in identfying connections to the cultural and intellectual milieu from which the Almagest commentary ultimately derives: Syria.
		While this investigative trail is an involved one and touches on a wide array of textual and scientific matters, in the end it is religious tensions between Nestorian and Monophysite sects evident in the scholia that lead Pingree to identify Severus Sebokht, a teacher at Nisbis on the Euphrates, as the author of the commentary.
