Notes:
Fl.100 BCE; see generally OCD4 s.v. Theodosius(4) of Bithynia; MacTutor History of Mathematics at web address 1. Three of the works listed here (marked *) survive; others -- e.g. the commentary on Theudas (C2 CE) -- seem to have strayed in from the biography of another, later Theodosius.
[1] So by ancient classification; in the OCD and the TLG Canon he is an astronomer and mathematician.
[2] Perhaps the same as On Habitations, below.
