Philo of Larissa: The Last of the Academic Sceptics - Oxford Classical Monographs
Brittain, Charles (Assistant Professor, Program in Ancient Philosophy, Assistant Professor, Program in Ancient Philosophy, Cornell University)
This is the first book-length study of Philo (159-84 BC), the principal philosophical teacher of Cicero. Charles Brittain reconstructs the Platonic Academy's gradual rejection of scepticism under Philo's leadership, which prepared the way for the revival of Platonism in the first century AD. The Appendix contains a full collection of the testimonia and 'fragments' of Philo.
