==Life== He was a native of [[Alexandria]], Egypt and the son of Philoxenus. We know little of his personal history, but that he came to [[Athens]], and studied with great zeal under [[Plutarch of Athens]], the head of the Neoplatonist school, who regarded him with great admiration and affection, and appointed him as his successor. He is important as the teacher of [[Proclus]] and [[Hermias (philosopher)|Hermias]]. Proclus regarded him with the greatest veneration, and gave directions that at his death he should be buried in the same tomb with [[Themistius]].
