{{NoteTag|name=birth|The [[Suda]] states that he was born in the 126th [[Olympiad]], (276–272&nbsp;BC). [[Strabo]] (''Geography'', i.2.2), though, states that he was a "pupil" (γνωριμος) of [[Zeno of Citium]] (who died in 262&nbsp;BC), which would imply an earlier year of birth ({{nowrap|{{circa}}&nbsp;285 BC}}) since he is unlikely to have studied under him at the young age of 14. However, γνωριμος can also mean "acquaintance", and the year of Zeno's death is by no means definite.<ref>''Eratosthenes'' entry in the ''[[Dictionary of Scientific Biography]]'' (1971)</ref>}}
{{NoteTag|name=death|The [[Suda]] states he died at the age of 80, [[Censorinus]] (''De die natali'', 15) at the age of 81, and [[Pseudo-Lucian]] (''Makrobioi'', 27) at the age of 82.}}
