Zethos the Arab
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zethos was a 3rd century neoplatonist and disciple of Plotinus. Porphyry stated of Zethos in the Life of Plotinus. "Another friend was Zethos, an Arabian by descent, who married a daughter of Ammonius' friend Theodosius. Zethos, too, was a doctor. Plotinus was deeply attached to him and was always trying to divert him from the political career in which he stood high. Plotinus was on the most familiar terms with him, and used to stay with him at his country place, six miles from Minturnae, a property which had formerly belonged to Castricius Firmus."
