Aristo'teles
(*)Aristote/lhs).
I. Biography
Aristotle was born at Stageira, a sea-port town of some little importance in the district of Chalcidice, in the first year of the 99th Olympiad. (B. C. 384.) His father, Nicomachus, an Asclepiad, was physician in ordinary to Amyntas II., king of Macedonia, and the author of several treatises on subjects connected with natural science. (Suidas, s.v. *)Aristote/lhs.) His mother, Phaestis (or Phaestias), was descended from a Chalcidian family (Dionys. de Demosth. et Arist. 5); and we find mention of his brother Arimnestus, and his sister Arimneste. (D. L. 5.15; Suid. l.c.) His father, who was a man of scientific culture, soon introduced his son at the court of the king of Macedonia in Pella, where at an early age he became acquainted with the son of Amyntas II., afterwards the celebrated Philip of Macedonia, who was only three years younger than Aristotle himself.

Crassus, Papi'rius
4. C. Papirius Crassus was consular tribune in B. C. 384. (Liv. 6.18.)
Dicon
(*Di/kwn), the son of Callimbrotus, was victor in the foot-race five times in the Pythian games, thrice in the Isthmian, four times in the Nemean. and at Olympia once in the boys' footrace, and twice in the men's : he was therefore a periodoni/khs. His statues at Olympia were equal in number to his victories.
He was a native of Caulonia, an Achaean colony in Italy; but after all his victories, except the first, he caused himself, for a sum of money, to be proclaimed as a Syracusan. One of his Olympic victories was in the 99th Olympiad, B. C. 384. (Paus. 6.3.5; Anth. Graec. iv. p. 142, No. 120, ed. Jacobs, Anth. Pal. 13.15; Krause, Olymp. p. 271, Gymn. u. Agon. ii. p. 755.) [P.
Mae'nius
5. M. Maenius, occurs in the old editions of Livy (6.19) as tribune of the plebs in B. C. 384, where, however, Alschefski, in accordance with the best MSS., now reads M. Menenius. In the same way, in another passage (7.16), we ought to read L. Menenius, instead of L. Macnius, as tribune of the plebs in B. C. 357.
Maluginensis
9. Ser. Cornelius Maluginensis, P. F. M. N., seven times consular tribune: the first time in B. C. 386, the second time in B. C. 384, the third time in B. C. 382, the fourth time in B. C. 380, the fifth time in B. C. 376 (Livy does not mention the consular tribunes of this year, see Diod. 15.71, and Anonym. Noris.), the sixth time in B. C. 370, and a seventh time in B. C. 368. (Liv. 6.6, 18, 22, 27, 36, 38.)
Publi'lius
2. Q. Publilius, tribune of the plebs B. C. 384, in which year, in conjunction with his colleague, M. Maenius or Menenius, he accused Manlius. (Liv. 6.19, 20.)
