  3. 2alpha 3929. Diogenes Laertius [5.1] cites Timaeus for the information that Nikomachos was Aristotle's son by his concubine Herpyllis. ↩
  4. 3See theta 199 and compare Diogenes Laertius 5.39, who obtained the information from Aristippus, On the Luxury of the Ancients. ↩
  5. 4This might be a misattribution of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics to his son, after whom it was named; cf. Cicero, De Finibus 5.12 (web address 1). ↩
