Philo and Paul among the Sophists

"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."
