Theodo'rus
66. Of SAMOTHRACE, a writer from whom Ptolemaeus Hephaestion quotes the statement that Jupiter, after his birth, laughed for seven days continuously, and that hence
seven came to be regarded as a perfect number.
It is perhaps this Theodorus who is quoted by the scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius (4.264). Comp. Vossius,
de Hist. Graec. p. 503.
