Jason

NYSSA (Ancient city) TURKEY
Jason, of Nysa, a Stoic philosopher, son of Menecrates, and, on the mother's side, grandson of Posidonius, of whom also he was the disciple and successor. He therefore flourished after the middle of the first century B. C. (Clinton, Fasti, vol. iii. s. a. 51, B. C.) Suidas (s. v.) mentions his works Bioi endoxon and Philosophon diadochai, and adds that some ascribed to him a Bios Hellados, in four books, which, however, as well as the work Peri Hpodou, should perhaps be assigned to Jason of Argos.
