| Dec 1, 2019 at 16:32 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | I'll just mention that I asked on History of Science and Mathematics what they think about migration of this post to that site. Here is the response from one of the mods of that site. (Of course, to get the question actually migrated there, you'll need help from the MathOverflow mods.) | |

| Nov 27, 2019 at 17:36 | comment | added | Francois Ziegler | en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagoreanism#Philosophic_traditions talks of mathēmatikoi vs. akousmatikoi (no idea how reliably). A localized version asserts that the division is known “after an indication of Iamblichus (AD 245–325) which may go back to Aristotle (384–322 BC)”. | |
