Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Theodosius of Bithynia" in English language version.
Theodosius, philosopher, wrote Sphaerics in three books, a commentary on the chapter of Theudas, two books On Days and Nights, a commentary on the Method of Archimedes, Descriptions of Houses in three books, Skeptical Chapters, astrological works, On Habitations. Theodosius wrote verses on the spring and other types of works. He was from Tripolis.Θεοδόσιος, φιλόσοφος. ἔγραψε Σφαιρικὰ ἐν βιβλίοις γ', ̔Υπόμνημα εἰς τὰ Θευδα̂ κεφάλαια, Περὶ ἡμερω̂ν καὶ νυκτω̂ν δύο, ̔Υπόμνημα εἰς τὸ ̓Αρχιμήδους ̓Εφόδιον, Διαγραφὰς οἰκιω̂ν ἐν βιβλίοις τρισί, Σκεπτικὰ κεφάλαια, ̓Αστρολογικά, Περὶ οἰκήσεων. Θεοδόσιος: ἔγραψε δι' ἐπω̂ν εἰς τὸ ἔαρ, καὶ ἕτερα διάφορα. ἠ̂ν δὲ Τριπολίτης.
This text was historically taken to refer to a single person, but the sentences about the Theodosius from Tripoli who wrote verses about the spring were likely intended to represent a separate entry. Furthermore, Theudas lived after Theodosius of Bithynia; the commentary on Theudas and Skeptical Chapters were written by someone else, perhaps a different Theodosius. The other listed works were by the Theodosius who wrote the Spherics, including presumably the (now-lost) commentary on Archimedes' Method. It is unclear whether Descriptions of Houses is a mangled reference to On Habitations, a separate now-lost work on astronomy, or perhaps a lost work on architecture.
Men notable for their paideia from Bithynia have been the philosopher Xenocrates, the dialecticus Dionysius, the mathematicians Hipparchus and Theodosius and his sons, and the rhetor Cleophanes from Myrleia and the doctor Asclepiades from Prusias.ἄνδρες δ’ ἀξιόλογοι κατὰ παιδείαν γεγόνασιν ἐν τῇ Βιθυνίᾳ Ξενοκράτης τε ὁ φιλόσοφος καὶ Διονύσιος ὁ διαλεκτικὸς καὶ Ἵππαρχος καὶ Θεοδόσιος καὶ οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ μαθηματικοὶ Κλεοφάνης τε ῥήτωρ ὁ Μυρλεανὸς Ἀσκληπιάδης τε ἰατρός ὁ Προυσιεύς.
