By Herpylis he had one Son, as » Apellko af- firmeth, whom he named after his own Father, Ebicomachus : To him he dedicated his great Mo¬ ra/s, which b Cicero thinks to have been written by Nicbmachus himfelf : For I fee not, faith he, vihy the Son might not he like the Lather. ■
* This Nicbmachus was a Difciple of Theo‘ phrafius,mid much beloved by him ; under whom he profited exceedingly in Philofophy,and arriv’d at much Eminence therein.
