It is classified as a C-type asteroid and is probably composed of primitive carbonaceous material. It was discovered by Auguste Charlois on December 7, 1896, in Nice. It is named for a priestess who was one of Socrates's teachers. It is one of seven of Charlois's discoveries that was expressly named by the Astromomisches Rechen-Institut. In the late 1990s, a network of astronomers worldwide gathered lightcurve data that was ultimately used to derive the spin states and shape models of 10 new asteroids, including 423 Diotima.
