A lot of christian philosophy is handed down stoic ideas, I would say more so than any other philosophy.

Also ancient Islamic philosophers mostly copied down Aristotle and hardly any Plato because the platoists taught it such that Aristotle was entry level and Plato was advanced, most of the scholars didn't stay and study long enough to have access to Plato's work and/or thought it less important since it wasn't studied by as many people and so most of that philosophy's writings were lost since most of our modern day copies of ancient philosophy came through Islamic sources.
