Translation: Son of Epicratides and Lindia, an Alexandrian woman; of Amisos.[1] He was surnamed Corymbus. He lived in the time of Pompey the Great and earlier; a pupil of (among others) Hestiaeus of Amisos,[2] who in fact gave him the name Tyrannio (because he ran down his fellow-pupils); previously he was called
Theophrastus. Then he studied with
Dionysius the Thracian in
Rhodes.[3] As a sophist he was a rival to
Demetrius of Erythrae.[4] He was taken to Rome, having been taken captive by Lucullus when he fought the war against Mithridates the king of Pontus. In Rome he gained distinction and wealth and purchased more than 30,000 books. He died in old age, paralysed by gout, in the 118th Olympiad, in the 3rd year of the Olympiad.[5]

Notes:
Early C1 BC. See generally RE Tyrannion(2); OCD4 Tyrannio(1); and cf.
sigma 643 (end).
[1] See
alpha 1599.
[2] Otherwise unattested.
[3] [
delta 1172]
Dionysius.
[4] RE Demetrios(105).
[5] So the transmitted numerals, but unacceptably as regards the Olympiad number: the result would be 306 BC. Adler prints this paradosis but does refer in her critical apparatus to several suggestions for emending it; the orthodox one (Bernhardy, Usener) has 188th, i.e. 26 BC.
