Headword: *eu)ma/reia
Adler number: epsilon,3574
Translated headword: convenience
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning] agreeability.[1]
Also a term for orderliness in Marcus [Aurelius] Antoninus.[2]
And in the Epigrams: "a slipper not long-robed."[3]
Greek Original:
*eu)ma/reia: h( eu)koli/a. le/getai de\ kai\ h( eu)kosmi/a para\ *ma/rkw| *)antwni/nw|. kai\ e)n *)epigra/mmasi: ou) baqu/peplos eu)/maris.
Notes:
For the headword cf. epsilon 3573, epsilon 3575, epsilon 3577, and LSJ s.v.
[1] Glossed differently, according to Adler, in the Ambrosian Lexicon (2499).
[2] Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 4.3.2 (web address 1).
[3] The quotation (Greek Anthology 7.413.3-4) is from the epigram on Hipparchia (cf. iota 517), wife of Krates (kappa 2341), both of whom were Cynic philosophers. The phrase does not contain the present headword but merely another word similar to it, eu)/maris, 'an Asiatic shoe or slipper' (LSJ s.v.); the word (again under epsilon 3577) appears to be non-Greek in origin (cf. LSJ; Gow and Page, vol. II, p. 88). Along with the two main sources of the Greek Anthology (Anthologia Palatina and Anthologia Planudea), the Suda transmits baqu/peplos, long-robed (cf. beta 36, LSJ s.v.); however, the entry should evidently read baqu/pelmos, thick-soled, as Salmasius [Claude de Saumaise, 1588-1653] observes in his critical apparatus to the Anthologia Palatina (Gow and Page, vol. I, p. 34 and note).

Headword: *)/hra
Adler number: eta,448
Translated headword: loved
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
[Meaning he/she/it] was desiring.[1] Hipparchia loved the discourses of Crates, not favoring any other matter. When she went into a symposium with Crates, she tested Theodoros the atheist by proposing a sophism like this: "that which if Theodoros did, he would not be said to do wrong, neither should Hipparchia be said to do wrong if she does it. Theodoros hitting himself does not do wrong, nor does Hipparchia do wrong hitting Theodoros." He did not reply to what she said, but pulled up her outer-garment.[2]

Sister of Metrokles the Cynic, from Maroneia,[1] Cynic philosopher, wife of Krates the Cynic, who was an Athenian, student of Bryson from Achaia, or as some say of Diogenes.[2] She wrote philosophical discussions and some essays and propositions addressed to Theodoros, the one called Atheist.[3] She flourished in the 111th Olympiad.[4]

Headword: *kra/ths
Adler number: kappa,2341
Translated headword: Krates, Crates
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Son of Askondas, a Theban, a Cynic philosopher, a student of Diogenes and Bryson the Achaean. He liquidated his property and gave the money to a money-changer, telling him that if his sons were philosophers he should give it to the people, but if not, to the sons themselves.[1] He married Hipparchia of Maroneia and called their marriage "dog-coupling" (cynogamy).[2] He had a son by her, Pasikles. He flourished in the 113th Olympiad.[3] He was called "Door-opener" because he shamelessly entered anyone's house he wanted.[4]
This man, having abandoned his property [to be] sheep-pasturage, took to the altar and said, "Krates manumits Krates the Theban!"[5] He wrote philosophical works.
Krates said: "hunger stops passion; if not, time [does]; but if not even that can -- a halter."[6]
This man threw his property into the sea, as Philostratus the Lemnian says in his Life of Apollonius of Tyana.[7]
See also under 'Anaxagoras'.[8]

Notes:
c.368/5 - 288/5 BCE. See generally OCD(4) s.v. Crates(2) and Cynics. The bulk of the present entry derives from Diogenes Laertius 6.85-88, with extra material from Philostratus and elsewhere.
[1] See D.L. 6.88 (citing Demetrius of Magnesia). The point was not to punish the sons but to recognize that, if philosophers, they would have no need of money.
[2] That is, the marriage of one cynic to another. For Hipparchia see iota 517.
[3] 328-325. The Suda actually says that Krates was "born" then, but for "flourished", h)/kmaze, see D.L. 6.87.

Headword: *qeo/dwros
Adler number: theta,150
Translated headword: Theodorus, Theodoros
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
Surnamed 'Atheist',[1] was a disciple of Zeno of Citium;[2] he also followed Bryson[3] and Pyrrhon 'the Ephectic'.[4] In holding the doctrine of indifference and transmitting it, he founded his own school, the one named Theodorean.[5] He wrote on many topics, these topics extending towards his own school, and some other themes.
This man said to Hipparchia, the wife of Crates:[6] '“this is she who left the shuttles of looms” and bears a threadbare cloak.'[7]

Notes:
The chronological indicators in this entry are mutually incompatible: some late fifth century BCE, others late fourth century. Either the Suda or its source has conflated two homonyms who should be kept distinct from each other (as they are in e.g. the Index nominum et rerum of R.D. Hicks' Loeb edition of the principal source used, Diogenes Laertius). One is the mathematician and geometer Theodorus of Cyrene (fl. late 5th century BCE), one of the characters in Plato's Theaetetus; a former disciple of the sophist Protagoras, and portrayed by Plato as an associate of Socrates and the teacher of Theaetetus; see generally OCD(4) Theodorus(2). The other, to whom most of the material applies, is the 'Cyrenaic' (Aristippean) philosopher Theodorus, mentioned briefly in OCD(4) under Cyrenaics.
[1] See Diogenes Laertius 2.86, 2.97. Theodorus appears to have written a book On the Gods, where he positively denied their existence (see Giannantoni 1990, IV H 14-24). This was enough reason to be banished from Athens. For further data on Theodorus and his philosophical tenets, see Long (below), 636-639.
[2] The founder of Stoicism: see alphaiota 4420, zeta 78, zeta 79.
[3] Bryson of Heraclea, a Sophist of the early 4th century BCE. He was criticized by Aristotle for an allegedly fallacious quadrature of the circle (An.Post. 75b4; Soph.El. 171b16, 172a3). In Physics 185a14-17 Aristotle also stresses that it is the geometer’s concern to refute the quadrature by means of lunes, but not as Antiphon had. 'The circle’s quadrature' is the attempt 'to measure' a circle by means of the inscription of a polygon in a circumference. Antiphon’s method apparently consisted in inscribing polygons with an increasing number of sides. He seems to have thought that, in increasing indefinitely the number of sides, the circumference of the polygon might coincide with the circle’s circumference (see Simplicius, In Phys. 54, 12ff.= DK B13 and Heat [below], 221ff.). Both Bryson’s and Antiphon’s attempts are regarded as 'eristic' and not geometrical by Aristotle.
[4] Pyrrhon of Elis (c.365–275), the founder of Greek Skepticism, called 'the Ephectic' or 'practitioner of suspended judgement'. Sextus reports that the Skeptical persuasion is 'suspensive' (e)fektikh/) from the affective state (pa/qos) that is produced in the inquirer after the investigation (see Sextus Empiricus, PH 1.7; 2.9; see also pi 3241, note 2). He studied under Bryson’s direction (though it is not sure which) and with the Democritean Anaxarchus, with whom he traveled to India. There he met the gymnosophists and magi who appear to have influenced his philosophical doctrines. Pyrrho wrote nothing, although some of his basic thoughts can be reconstructed from the fragments of his disciple Timon of Phlius (320-230) and from the Skeptic philosopher Sextus Empiricus. On Pyrrho’s philosophical viewpoints see Bett (below).
[5] For the Theodorean school and way of life see alphaiota 286, n.9, and Diogenes Laertius 2.98.
[6] Crates of Thebes (368–288), Cynic philosopher (kappa 2341). When young he became a disciple of Diogenes the Cynic (412-324; on his philosophical positions see Diogenes Laertius 6.70-73), and expressed his detachment from wealth by throwing his money into the sea. He, like his teacher Diogenes, professed cosmopolitanism and followed his mentor’s prescriptions regarding free and public sex in his relations with Hipparchia (iota 517, and see also eta 448). He was a teacher of Zeno of Citium (see note above). Stoicism. On Crates and Cynicism see Long (below) 629-632.
[7] Diogenes Laertius 6.98. The core of the quotation -- actually a question ('is this...?') -- is Euripides, Bacchae 1236.
