Eduard Zeller suggested2 that Eudemus’ Physics was an abridgement of the Aristotelian treatise, compiled by Eudemus for his own lectures when he left the Lyceum and set up his own school in Rhodes. We can­ not I think prove this; but it seems plausible enough. It is clear that Eudemus followed the sequence of Aristotle’s discussion closely; Simplicius used Eudemus’ order of treatment to argue that the sixth book of Aristotle’s Physics was rightly regarded as following on the fifth (Eud. fr. 98W). [Introduction, p. 107]
