5 A diadochos was the head of a philosophical school in succession to Plato, Zeno, or Epicurus. The number of diadochoi at Athens is not recorded, but from inscriptions Oliver, J. H. (“The Diadochē at Athens under the Humanistic Emperors,” AJP 98 [1977] 160–78)Google Scholar inferred that there were three diadochoi, one main diadochos representing the interests and property of Platonists, Aristotelians, and eclectics, then two diadochoi for the two sects which remained aloof, the Stoics and the Epicureans.
