Blurb:

(texts date late 4th–3rd centuries BC, and 3rd–2nd centuries BC)

Two works attributed to Perictione have survived in fragments: On the Harmony of Women and On Wisdom. Differences in language suggest that they were written by two different people. Allen and Waithe identify them as Perictione I and Perictione II.1
