abstract = "If there is some uncertainty about Halley{\textquoteright}s birth date, we are really in the dark about Apollonius{\textquoteright}s. The most one can say is that Apollonius of Perga was born around the middle of the third century B.C.E. and died sometime at the beginning of the second. Even this is only a matter of inference, based partly on a comment by Apollonius{\textquoteright}s late commentator and editor, Eutocius (c. 480–540 C.E.)—himself relying on yet another source, a certain Heraclius—that Apolloniuswas born “… in the time of Ptolemy Euergetes… ” whose reign we know to have been from 246 to 221 B.C.E.",
