Another option is to list such persons at existent section of "Influences", but, as I understand, here are listed mathematics, which were non-Greek. --

Hello xJam, the section that says "mathematicians" should only include people who were mathematicians. These mathematicians need not be only mathematicians, for instance, it is perfectly acceptable if one of them is a mathematician and astronomer, since then he/she is a mathematician. But if you want

I do understand that one can also be something else than just a mathematician. I've just said that, strictly speaking, for instance, Anaxagoras, who is listed (and some more), was not a mathematician at all. So that's why I've added Aratus, because, as the mentioned sentence also says, he made a

There is nothing random about the bold text. The names that are in bold are the names of those mathematicians who for some reason stand out among the rest. So since
Archimedes, Apollonius, Euclid, Pythagoras, Thales, etc stand out more than the other mathematicians, their names are in bold.
234:
Hi, selfworm. I know that Aratus strictly speaking was not a mathematician in a modern sense. In this table there are a lot of names, for which we can also say that they were not mathematicians in a same manner. For example - Anaxagoras and other Greek philosophers. This sentence:

Although Aratus was ignorant of astronomy, his poem attracted the favorable notice of 18 distinguished specialists, such as
Hipparchus, who wrote a commentary upon it.
