Abstract
Many citizens of Oenanda are named ‘Diogenes’ on inscriptions surviving there from the Roman period, yet the most famous of them all, who gave his name to the vast Epicurean treatise now lying in fragments across the northern part of the site, has still to be securely identified.Those who have studied Diogenes' treatise do not agree on a date for the setting-up of the inscription. C. W. Chilton followed most earlier scholars in accepting a date ‘about A.D. 200’, but M. F. Smith, who has devoted great efforts in recent years to the recovery and study of the text, has found reasons for proposing a date as early as Hadrianic times.
