CLEITOMACHUS, Greek philosopher, was a Carthaginian, who came to Athens about the middle of the 2nd century B.C. at the age of 24. He studied principally under Carneades, whose views he adopted and propagated and whom he succeeded as chief of the New Academy in 129 B.C. Of Cleitomachus' works we possess scarcely anything but a few titles, among which are IIepi Eiroxrqs (on suspension of judgment) and IIEpi aip&r€ wv (about philo sophical sects). Cicero highly commends his works and admits his own debt in the Academics to the treatise IIEpi i roxrls. Parts of Cicero's De Natura and De Divinatione, and the treatise De Fato are also in the main based upon Cleitomachus.
