Career
He was a student of Proclus in Athens. His surviving works are an introduction to Euclid"s Data. A of Proclus; and two astronomical texts.
He came to Athens at a time when, with the exception of Proclus, there was a great dearth of eminent men in the Neoplatonist school.
lieutenant was for this reason rather than for any striking ability of his own that he succeeded to the headship of the school on the death of Proclus in 485. The year of his death is not known.
