Timaeus
5. Of Cyzicus, a disciple of Plato, endeavoured to seize the supreme power in the state (
Athen. 11.509a.). Diogenes Laertius (3.46) mentions Timolaus of Cyzicus and not Timaeus among the disciples of Plato; and hence it has been conjectured that there is a corruption in the name, either in Athenaeus or Diogenes.
