Part 21

We are told by Diogenes Laeertius, v. 37, that Theophrastus had 2000 hearers sometimes at once.

"Republic," vii. p. 539, B.

Sentences borrowed from some author or other, such, as we still possess from the hands of Hermogenes and Aphthonius; compare the collection of bon-mots of Greek courtesans in Athenaeus.

A reference to AEsop's Fable, [Greek: Leon kai Halopez]. Cf. Horace, "Epistles," i. i. 73-75.

This passage is alluded to also in "On Love to one's Offspring." Sec. ii.

Madvig's text.

Thucydides, i. 18.

Homer, "Iliad," ix. 323, 324. Quoted also in "On Love to One's Offspring," Sec. ii.

The remark about Demosthenes has somehow slipped out, as Wyttenbach has suggested.

Does this refer to [Greek: Peleiadeo] before [Greek: Hachileos] in "Iliad," i. 1?

An allusion to some passage in a Play that has not come down to us.

Compare our Author, De Audiendis Poetis, Sec. xi. [Greek: hosper ho Agesilaos ouk hypemeinen hypo tou kalou philethenai prosiontos].

Reading with Madvig and Hercher, [Greek: to gar auton], sq.

Literally cork-like, so vain, empty. So Horace, "levior cortice," "Odes," iii. 9, 22.

Marks of a philosopher among the ancients. Compare our Author, "How one may discern a flatterer from a friend," Sec. vii.

"Odyssey," xvi. 187.

AEschylus, "Toxotides," Fragm. 224. Quoted again by our author, "On Love," Sec. xxi.

"Turpe habitum fuisse in caupona conspici, et hoc exemplo apparet, et alia sunt indicia. Isocrates Orat. Areopagitica laudans antiquorum Atheniensium mores, p. 257: [Greek: en kapeleio de phagein e piein oudeis han oiketes epieikes etolmese]: quem locum citans Athenaeus alia etiam adfert xiii. p. 566, F."--Wyttenbach.

Wyttenbach compares Quintilian, "Institut. Orat." iii. 6, p. 255: "Nam et Hippocrates clarus arte medicinae videtur honestissime fecisse, qui quosdam errores suos, ne posteri errarent, confessus est."

Homer, "Odyssey," vi. 187.

Homer, "Odyssey," xxiv. 402.

Plato, "Republic," ix. p. 571, D.

A somewhat similar story about Stilpo is told in Athenaeus, x. p. 423, D.

So Haupt and Herscher very ingeniously for [Greek: hiereusin].

Adopting the suggestion of Wyttenbach as to the reading. The Dorian measure was grave and severe, the Lydian soft and effeminate.

See our author, "Apophthegmata Laconica," p. 220 C.

Plato, "Symposium," p. 25, E.

This line is quoted again by our author, "On Moral Virtue," Sec. vii.
