Historical Disputation on Abaris

tation of public law regarding this. Orosius (ι) and Richard Bentley (κ) subscribe to the opinion proposed in that disputation. And let these things be said regarding the times of Pythagoras and Phalaris. From which we see, although we know for certain that Abaris lived at one and the same time with them, we are nevertheless still uncertain in which year he was among the living, since the debate as to what time Pythagoras and Phalaris led their lives has not yet been resolved.

The most celebrated man John Albert Fabricius (λ) embraced the opinion of Hippostratus, which Harpocration (μ) mentions and of which I have already spoken above, and refers the life of Abaris to the 3rd Olympiad: Abaris, he says, is also younger than Homer, likewise a Scythian, famous about the 3rd Olympiad. And a little later he continues: But he was older than Pythagoras himself, and I do not doubt that the book under this name to Abaris, like many others, was concocted by some Pythagorean or Platonist.
