Marinus of Neapolis was probably a Samaritan , but just possibly a Jew. He became a convert to the Greek way of life and joined the Academy in Athens where he was a pupil of Proclus who was head of the Academy. In fact when Proclus wrote a commentary on the Myth of Er, he dedicated it to Marinus. Marinus succeeded Proclus as head of the Academy at Athens in 485. We are told in [5] that:- ... he lectured on Pappus ' commentary to Book V of the Almagest (in particular his discussion of parallax ); and there are still extant lecture notes on the Data of Euclid Marinus [2]:- ... wrote a commentary, or rather introduction to the Data of Euclid . It is mainly taken up with a discussion of the question - what is meant by given? In fact Marinus was a great believer in mathematics, something which he shared with fellow late Neoplatonists . He said (see for example [1]):- I wish everything were mathematics.

    As for what is sought out by the most subtle reasoning for my character is such that I'm impatient in my desireto apprehend what the truth is not only by belief but by understandingI'm still confident that I'm going to find it with the Platonists, and that it won't be oppposed to our Holy Writ.
