The answer is quite simple: ancient Gadara (Hebrew: Gader) was the birthplace of three famous Cynic philosopher- satirists, one famous Epicurean philosopher-poet, two important rhetoricians and one famous mathematician In addition, a famous neo-Platonic philosopher once taught in its baths of Hammat-Gader. there are also indications of popular poets, charmers and witches from this city mentioned in various ancient inscriptions and papyri. We also know of an active Jewish community in the area from synagogue inscriptions of the Byzantine era. Finally, recent excavations have uncovered some important Christian inscriptions concerning the baths (el-Hameh) at Hammat-Gader, including a short epic poem in praise of its hot springs apparently written by the

Reviewed by Eleanor Dickey, Columbia University (ed202@columbia.edu) Word count: 1954 words Perhaps the ultimate acknowledgement that a work of classical antiquity is truly impossible to read is the provision of a facing translation in the Teubner text. In the case of Archimedes, probably the most famous of ancient mathematicians, the distinction is certainly well deserved, and there is considerable courage involved in any attempt to translate this difficult, elliptical, and interpolated (not to mention highly technical) set of writings. The book under review, a translation of the two books On the Sphere and the Cylinder, is an example of particular courage well applied: it is only the first volume of a multi-volume translation project intended to cover all the works of Archimedes included in the standard Greek edition (Teubner, ed. J. L. Heiberg, 2nd edn 1910-15). The volume includes not only a translation but also extensive commentary, as well as a translation of the important ancient commentary by Eutocius of Ascalon, notes on that commentary, and a critical edition of the diagrams that accompany both texts in the manuscript tradition. The work is of high quality and will undoubtedly remain an important one for years to come though perhaps less because of the translation itself than because of the accompanying material.

L'explosion des mathématiques Format : PDF (180 k) PS (599 k) Action: Voir Parutions Coniques This article deals with the corpus of diagrams included in Books I-IV of Apollonios of Perga's Conics (ca. 200 B.C.). The original text of these four books has not survived. The Greek as well as the Arabic traditions have handed down to us Eutocius of Ascalon's edition (6th century A.D.), which came with a commentary only preserved by the Greek tradition. After a survey of the usage of construction methods in Greek classical geometry, the author studies diagram practices in the treatise, drawing rules, and the nature of the figures handed down by manuscripts. As far as possible, a distinction between Apollonios's own composition and what must be ascribed to the editor and commentator is drawn.

Eutocius eutocius of ascalon. Born about 480 in Palestine Died about 540. Eutocius ofAscalon was for a long time thought to have been born in 530. http://www.educ.fc.ul.pt/icm/icm2003/icm14/Eutocius.htm
Extractions: Died: about 540 Eutocius of Ascalon was for a long time thought to have been born in 530. It is instructive to see how this came about for it shows how many pitfalls there are in the study of history. Eutocius wrote commentaries on three works of Archimedes . His commentary on Book II of On the Sphere and Cylinder ends with the statement:- ... the edition was revised by Isidorus of Miletus, the mechanical engineer, our teacher. From this it was thought that Eutocius was a pupil of Isidorus and his dates were deduced from this information. However, further investigation showed that this contradicted other information such the dedications that Eutocius makes in some of his other works. It was then realised that the comment at the end of Eutocius's commentary to Archimedes On the Sphere and Cylinder was inserted by a later editor of the work who was indeed a pupil of Isidorus of Miletus. It is thought that the first of Eutocius's commentaries on Archimedes was written around 510.
