Translation
Son of Apollodorus or of Midon; a Milesian, a philosopher, called a 'natural philosopher' with respect to his philosophical school.1. [It is on record] that he was the first to introduce natural philosophy from Ionia.2 He was a pupil of Anaxagoras of Clazomenae, and he had Socrates as a pupil. Some assert that he also taught Euripides.3 He organized the study of natural philosophy, and he thought that the just and the base did not exist by nature, but by convention.4 He organized some other [fields of study] as well.
Basil, bishop of Eirenoupolis, similar in spirit and in training to his namesake Basil of Caesarea, wrote against Archelaos an elder of Colonea.5
