Talk:Diocles (mathematician)

conflicting dates
The intro gives his life as c. 240 BC – c. 180 BC, but the first sentence of the next section says "he flourished sometime around the end of the second century and the beginning of the first century BC", i.e. about a century later than that. Is there a disagreement among scholars, and if so can we attribute the various estimates? --Delirium (talk) 23:52, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
