Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: in 365 BCE (Encyclopædia Universalis) or in 367 BCE (Great Norwegian Encyclopedia; Great Russian Encyclopedia) or in 367 BCE (Gran Enciclopèdia Catalana; Sapere Encyclopedia) or in 366 BCE (World History Encyclopedia; Dizionario di Storia).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
