THRASYLLUS OF MENDES

'Thrasyllus of Mendes' (d. 36 CE), whose full name was 'Tiberius Claudius Thrasyllus', was an Egyptian astrologer, astronomer and mathematician who lived during the reign of the Emperor Tiberius, whom he served. He was renowned for the accuracy of his astrological predictions. He calculated the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt to have taken place around 1690 BC. He is today most famous for publishing one of the earliest editions of Plato's complete corpus and his arrangement of those writings into tetralogies.
