The article currently says it was written between 390 and 287 BC? The Theophrastus article says he was born c. 371. Is there really so much uncertainty over his birth date that a date 19 years before the Wikipedia estimates he was born is plausible? Or did somebody do the math for BC birthdates backwards (assuming he was probably at least 19 years old when he began writing the book, or around 352 BCE).
