Son of Grylos,[1] Athenian, Socratic philosopher; [it was he] who was the first to write lives of philosophers and commentaries. By Philesia he had his sons Grylos and Diodoros, who were also called the Dioskouroi;[2] he himself was dubbed the Attic honeybee. He became a schoolmate of Plato and flourished during the 95th Olympiad.[3] He wrote more than 40 books, among them these: Cyropaedia [in] 8 books, Anabasis of Cyrus [in] 7 books, Hellenica [Greek History] [in] 7 books, Symposium; and many others.

Notes:
On Xenophon (c.428-c.354) see generally C.J. Tuplin in OCD(4) s.v. Xenophon(1), and again xi 48. For the present material cf. Diogenes Laertius 2.48, 52, 55-57.
[1] The more authentic spelling is Gryllos.
[2] The nickname obviously indicates (what is otherwise not directly attested) that they were twins; cf. delta 1209. On "Grylos" see the preceding note. (The spelling is correct in gamma 463, from Harpokration.)
[3] 400-397. For Plato see pi 1707.
