Translation: Son of Pures, from Elea,[1] a philosopher.[2] He was a disciple of
Xenophanes of Colophon,[3] but according to
Theophrastus [he was a disciple] of
Anaximander of Miletus.[4] As successors he had
Empedocles,[5] who was also a philosopher and a physician, and
Zeno of Elea.[6] He wrote
Physiology[7] in epic verse, and other works in prose, which
Plato mentions.[8]

Notes:
C(6-)5 BCE. See generally OCD4 s.v.
[1] For Elea, see

Diogenes Laertius 9.21 says that
Parmenides (i) was taught by
Xenophanes but (ii) was not his follower. Between i and ii he adds parenthetically that
Theophrastus (
Physicorum opiniones 6a) called "this man" a pupil of
Anaximander; unfortunately the syntax leaves it unclear whether "this man" is
Parmenides or, as Diels preferred,
Xenophanes.
[5] For
Empedocles, see
epsilon 1002,
epsilon 1003.
[6] For
Zeno, see

[7] Perhaps the same as
Peri phuseos?
