3 The case of Antiochus of Ascalon might be adduced on the authority of R. E. Witt (Albinus and the History of Middle Platonism [1937] 58)Google Scholar; however, Witt is unable to present documentary evidence for his guess that Albinus denied the doctrine of immortality, and even if it should be right, Witt himself points out that “to many ancient as probably to most modern observers Antiochus, despite the fact that he became head of the Academy., is too much of a Stoic to merit the name of Platonist” (ibid., 24).
