In searching for an ancient philosopher whose works have all been lost one turns instinctively to Diogenes Laertius to find a biography; but for the Peripatetic Aristo of Ceos, alas- there is none. Diogenes' series of Peripatetic lives stops just short of Aristo, with his older associate, Lyco. This chapter discusses the major sources of information on Aristo of Ceos to determine what they knew about him, whether they can discriminate Aristo of Ceos from other Aristos, and to which Aristo they may have thought they were referring when they alluded to an Aristo without further identification. These authors drew on several different traditions and selected from the traditions with various individual goals, biases, and grounds for selection. An awareness of the biases of the authors and the traditions from which they drew may help assess the relevance of their testimony to the life, writings, or thought of Aristo of Ceos.
