*stwi+koi/
Adler number: sigma,1150
Translated headword: Stoics
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Zeno of
Kition used to recite his discourses while pacing up and down the Painted Stoa [sc. in
Athens], also [called the Stoa] of Peisianax, later named after the painting of the artist Polygnotos. Under the 30, 1400 citizens were killed in it. This then was where, henceforth, people came to hear him; and accordingly "Stoics" was the name both for them and for his own followers, who had hitherto been called Zenonians.

Notes:
From
Diogenes Laertius 7.5.
For this Stoa cf. generally
zeta 79,
pi 1469,
sigma 1126. On the victims of the Thirty (404/3) see the sources collected in P. Krentz,
The Thirty in Athens (Ithaca NY 1982) 79 with n.30. That all of them were killed in the Stoa is most improbable.
