Numenius of Apamea

Numenius of Apamea (2nd century CE) was a Greek philosopher of the Neo-Pythagorean and Platonist tradition. He sought to recover what he saw as the original teaching of Pythagoras and Plato, and was notably open to the wisdom of other peoples, drawing on Egyptian, Persian, and Jewish ideas. His works survive in fragments, and his thought is regarded as an important forerunner of Neoplatonism.
