He is repeatedly referred to by Athenaeus. His principal work seems to have been a Successions (Template:Langx),[1] a history of the various schools of philosophy. Athenaeus also mentions a work On the Philosophers (Template:Langx),[2] A third work, a History of Arcadia (Template:Langx) is also referred to,[3] but whether it is by this Nicias is unclear.
