Alypius
, a philosopher of Alexandria, flourished in
the fifth century, and was contemporary with Jamblicus.
He was one of the most subtle dialecticians of his time,
was much followed, and drew away the hearers of Jambli^
cus. This occasioned some conferences between them, but
no animosity, as Jamblicus wrote his life, in which he
praised his virtue and steadiness of mind. Alypius died
very old, in the city of Alexandria. In stature he was so
remarkably diminutive as to be called a dwarf. 3
