“It appears that Plato was sold as a slave as early as in 404 B.C.E., when the Spartans conquered Aegina, or, alternatively, in 399 B.C.E., immediately after the death of Socrates,” says Ranocchia, per the Telegraph.

Plato eventually returned to Athens, where he founded the academy described in the scroll. He was buried in the garden on the school’s grounds when he died in 348 or 347 B.C.E.
