Aristo (or Ariston) of Alexandria (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Ἀρίστων ὁ Ἀλεξανδρεύς) was a Peripatetic philosopher[1] who lived in the 1st century BC. According to Philodemus, he was a pupil of Antiochus of Ascalon (or possibly his brother Aristus). [2] Strabo, a later contemporary, relates a story[3] where both Ariston and Eudorus, a contemporary of his, had claimed to have written a work on the Nile, but that the two works were so nearly identical that the authors charged each other with plagiarism.[4] Who was right is not said, though Strabo seems to be inclined to think that Eudorus was the guilty party.
