One-quarter of his life was spent as a boy and a young man. then when 1/7 of his life had passed he entered into matrimony, and 5 years later a son was born to him . Alas! when his son had reached only 1/2 his father's allotted time on this earth, death took him into its arms. to console himself while grieving over his son's death, he explired then discovered this science of numbers during a period of 4 years, after which, Diophantus passed on to a better world.
