§. IV.

All writers profess with unanimous consent that Abaris drew his origin from that most famous race of Scythians, by nation indeed Hyperboreans. For thus Himerius the Sophist (π): They say Abaris the wise was a Hyperborean by race. Iamblichus (ρ): For when Abaris the Scythian came from the Hyperboreans, being inexperienced and uninitiated in Greek learning and advanced in age, then he (that is, Pythagoras) introduced him through varied theorems. And Suidas (σ): Abaris the Scythian, son of Seuthes.
