Life No biographical information for a philosopher named Simus (Σίμος) from the 3rd century BCE to the 2nd century CE exists in major reference works [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8]. While the name appears in antiquity, it is attributed to figures such as a comic poet, a musician, and a physician, not a philosopher from this period [6].

Works No philosophical writings are attributed to Simus in the consulted sources. The suggestion of a single work in collection format lacks corroborating evidence from extant classical literature or scholarship.

Significance Simus the Philosopher holds no documented significance in the mainstream philosophical tradition. His absence from authoritative encyclopedias indicates he is not a recognized figure of influence from the Hellenistic or Roman Imperial eras.
