Who is Archedemus of Tarsus?

Archedemus of Tarsus, a Stoic philosopher who flourished c. 140 BC. Two of his works: On the Voice and On Elements, are mentioned by Diogenes Laƫrtius.

He is probably the same person as the Archedemus, whom Plutarch calls an Athenian, and who, he states, went into Parthia and founded a school of Stoic philosophers at Babylon.

Archedemus is also mentioned by Cicero, Seneca, and other ancient writers.
