Notes (2)
- Fl.100 BCE; see generally OCD4 s.v. Theodosius(4) of Bithynia; MacTutor History of Mathematics at web address 1. Three of the works listed here (marked *) survive; others -- e.g. the commentary on Theudas (C2 CE) -- seem to have strayed in from the biography of another, later Theodosius.
- 1So by ancient classification; in the OCD and the TLG Canon he is an astronomer and mathematician. ↩
- 2Perhaps the same as On Habitations, below. ↩
