Porphyry writes that Pythagoras had two sons named Telauges and Arignote, [87] and a daughter named Myia, [87] who "took precedence among the maidens in Croton and, when a wife, among married women." [87] Iamblichus mentions none of these children [87] and instead only mentions a son named Mnesarchus after his grandfather. [87]
Apollonius was born into a respected and wealthy aristocratic Greek household. [6] [7] His primary biographer, Philostratus the Elder (c. 170 – c. 247), places him c. 3 BC – c.

Evans, however, argues that unlike the references to Socrates and Pythagoras, bar Serapion does not explicitly mention Jesus by name, thereby rendering the actual identity of the "wise king" in the letter less than certain. [8] The letter was written after the AD 72 annexation of Samosata by the Romans, but before the third century. [12]
It is related to Hippasus that he was a Pythagorean, and that, owing to his being the first to publish and describe the sphere from the twelve pentagons, he perished at sea for his impiety, but he received credit for the discovery, though really it all belonged to HIM (for in this way they refer to Pythagoras, and they do not call him by his name).
