2That the Aemilii were one of the ancient and patrician houses at Rome, most writers agree. And that the first of them, and the one who gave his surname to the family, was Mamercus, a son of Pythagoras the philosopher, who received the surname of Aemilius for the grace[3] and charm of his discourse, is the statement of some of those writers who hold that Pythagoras was the educator of Numa the king.[4]
