Is it possible that someone might have a resource on the time period of this work? What of the time period for its author? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.70.205.20 (talk • contribs)

The author, Diogenes Laertius probably lived in the period 200-250 AD. This has to be inferred from the contents of his work, because we know zilch otherwise about his life. Wareh 19:16, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
