Diodorus Cronus(the philosopher whose argument is being discussed): An ancient Greek philosopher (around 300 BCE) who studied logic and what's possible versus impossible; he's famous for creating the Master Argument.
Historically preserved(describing how Philo's responses to Diodorus have been kept for us to study): Survived in written records or accounts from ancient times so we still know about it today.
Modal definitions(as the subject of disagreement between the two philosophers): Explanations of words related to possibility and necessity—basically, how philosophers define what 'could happen' versus what 'must happen' versus what 'actually happens.'
Philo(heavily influenced Philo): An ancient Jewish philosopher (around 20 BCE–50 CE) who tried to blend Greek philosophy with Jewish religious ideas.
