                    <TEI xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"><text xml:base="urn:cts:pdlrefwk:viaf88890045.003.perseus-eng1"><body xml:lang="eng" n="urn:cts:pdlrefwk:viaf88890045.003.perseus-eng1"><div type="textpart" subtype="alphabetic_letter" n="I"><div type="textpart" subtype="entry" xml:id="isigonus-bio-1" n="isigonus_1"><head><persName xml:lang="la"><surname full="yes">Isi'gonus</surname></persName></head><p>(<persName xml:lang="grc"><surname full="yes">Ἰσίγονος</surname></persName>), a Greek writer, who,
      according to Stephanus Byzantinus (<hi rend="ital">s. v.</hi>
      <foreign xml:lang="grc">Νικαία</foreign>), was a native of Nicaea, and, according to
      Cyrillus (<hi rend="ital">ad v. Julian.</hi> 3) of Cittium, though it is not improbable that
      in the latter passage <foreign xml:lang="grc">ὁ Κιττιεύς</foreign> may be only a false
      reading for <foreign xml:lang="grc">ὁ Νικαεύς</foreign>. The time at which he lived is
      uncertain, though Gellius (<bibl n="Gel. 9.4">9.4</bibl>) calls him an ancient writer of no
      small authority. Tzetzes (<hi rend="ital">ad Lycoph.</hi> 1021) calls him an historian, but
      the only work he is known to have written bore the title <title xml:lang="grc">Ἄπιστα</title>, whence he is regarded as one of the class of writers called <foreign xml:lang="grc">παραδοξογράφοι</foreign>. (Tzetz. <hi rend="ital">Chil.</hi> 7.144.) The
      fact that Pliny (<bibl n="Plin. Nat. 7.2">Plin. Nat. 7.2</bibl>) and Sotion used the work
      seems to show that lsigonus lived previous to the beginning of the Christian era. The work of
      Isigonus is lost, and the few fragments of it which have come down to us are collected in
      Westermann's <foreign xml:lang="grc">Παραδοξογράφοι</foreign>, pp. 162, 163. </p><byline>[<ref target="author.L.S">L.S</ref>]</byline></div></div></body></text></TEI>
