The burial place of Plato

From the Herculaneum papyri, the burial place of Plato (Ἀριστοκλῆς; c. 427 – 348 BC), was an ancient Greek philosopher of the Classical period who is considered a foundational thinker in Western philosophy and an innovator of the written dialogue and dialectic forms. We know that he was buried in the garden reserved for him (a private area designated for the Platonic school) near the so-called Museion, also that he was sold as a slave on the island of Aegina between 404 B.C., when the Sparta conquered the island.
