# Modern lives print a move from Samos to Italy as received, not as a passport file

Date: 1999

## The fact

SEP/MacTutor print a Samian origin and a South-Italian career as later tradition. One sage’s received migration is not a refugee census; low confidence on causes (tyranny of Polycrates as later told).

## Context

Do not invent a 530 BCE ISO move. Do store the received Samos-to-Croton heading.

[Pythagoras](/people/pythagoras) is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Official encyclopedia, Loeb, or heritage pages and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy — Pythagoras (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/pythagoras/; Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy).

## Significance

Printed migration-tradition is not a civil-registry relocation.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated public record of this instrument.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
