Abstract
Porphyry’s Commentary on Ptolemy’s Harmonics is dedicated to a Eudoxius who is otherwise unknown. This article aims to shed light on the cultural profile of Porphyry’s ideal reader; in addition, it is suggested that this Eudoxius might be identified with a Platonic sage of the same name, mentioned in an inscription from Baalbek in Coele-Syria (modern Lebanon).
