# Later tradition pairs Democritus with Protagoras as Abderite contemporaries; the pairing is a received heading, not a documented school contract

Date: 432

## The fact

Do not make Protagoras his pupil unless a source says so with a date; here it does not. Later editors, printers, and excavators remain named where they appear. Democritus's documented role is: A city-heading is not a shared clinic. Protagoras remains a neighbouring sophist file.
