First sentence: In the following five chapters we will survey evidence of the sophistic movement in Alexandria from the perspective of two of its most important critics, Philo of Alexandria (?-ca. A.D. 50) and Dio of Prusa (ca. A.D. 40-112), and from a student of the sophists named Neilus who wrote early in the Principate of Vespasian.
