Hieronymus of Rhodes (Ancient Greek: Ἱερώνυμος ὁ Ῥόδιος, romanized: Hierṓnymos ho Rhódios, Latin: Hieronymus Rhodius; c. 290 – c. 230 BC[1]) was a Peripatetic philosopher, and an opponent of Arcesilaus and Lyco of Troas.
Hieronymus belonged to the Peripatetic school, though Cicero questions his right to the title.
[3] Hieronymus is frequently mentioned by Cicero, who tells us that he held the highest good to consist in freedom from pain and trouble, and denied that pleasure was to be sought for its own sake.
Diogenes Laërtius mentions two works: On Suspense of Judgement[4] and Scattered Notes.
[5] It would seem from Cicero,[6] compared with Rufinus,[7] that he was the same as the Hieronymus who wrote on numbers and feet.
