Headword: *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.
