In the "Encheiridion Epictete" a "Handbook to Epictetus" compiled and condensed from the chaos of the almost verbatim "Discourses" Arrian gives the most authentic account of the philosophy of the Greek and Roman Stoics, the sect founded by Zeno about 300 years before the Christian era, which flourished until the decline of Rome. Arrian himself was born about 90 A.D. at Nicomedia.
