Dicaearchus - constructions of hyperbola and parabola
I removed this line from the introduction to this article on Dicaearchus: "He made geometric constructions of a hyperbola and a parabola." It's been here since this article was a 3-line stub in 2002. I can't personally find any evidence that he did do this, but I'm hardly an expert on Dicaearchus. It seemed better to expunge the line rather than leave it on the page with "cite needed" tag for years to come. Singinglemon (talk) 00:38, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Dicaearchus, further reading
I have added the previous edition (Wehrli 1967) which appears in most of what is written on Dicaearchus before the edition by Mirhady in Fortenbaugh and Schutrumpf. I have also added four articles on the subject. They are in scholarly journals and not all in English, but Dicaearchus is a very obscure author, and this is the best there is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.116.215 (talk) 23:42, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Dicaearchus Bios Hellados
I have made a start on making the description of the Bios Hellados more informative, properly referenced and accurate. I do not know where on the page it should be said that 'Mirhady X' refers to the Fortenbaugh and Schutrumpf edition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.116.215 (talk) 00:27, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
