ALEXINUS
Eliensis Ebulidis Milesii discipulus, vir acer, et contentionis viribus ac nervis clarus, Zenonis inimicus; dum nataret in Alpheo fluv. arundinis acumine laesus, fatô functus est. Erat autem Philosophus Eristicus φιλονεικότα???ος, rixarum studiosissimus, ut inde ἐλεγξῖνος contradictorius dictus sit, apud Laert l. 2. Euclide, ubi nomen hoc eius ἐλεγξῖνος restituendum ex Hesychio Milesio. Neque modo Zenoni Stoico se opposuit, sed exemplô magistri sui Eubulidis Aristotelem quoque perstringere non erubuit. Aristoteles l. 7. de Philosophia eum ἀπομνημονεύματα καταγέλαςτα scripsisle ait, in quibus fingat Alexandrum in colloquio cum patre Philippo habito, Aristotelis praecepta fuisse calumniatum, et Nicagoram Hermem praeceptorem sibi elegisle. Hermippus quoque l. 1. de Aristotele apud Athenaeum l. 15. Alexini in Aristotelem petulantiam notat. Porro Laertius auctor est, cum non modo πρὸς Ζήνωνα, sed etiam πρὸς Ε῎φορον τὸν ἱςτοριογράφον scripsisse: quod si ad, non adversus Ephorum, ea verba sint interpretanda, Ephorus ad Olymp. 120. circiter vixit. Nic. Lloydius.
