In Theophrastus’ bibliography at Diog. Laërt. V 48 the title is given in the genitive, Φυσικών δοξών, which means that the intended nominative may have been either Φυσικών δόξαι (The Tenets of the Philosophers of Nature) or Φυσικαί δόξαι (The Tenets in Natural Philosophy). Scholars have been divided over this issue; although the majority have followed Usener and Diels, there are a number of noteworthy exceptions.8 What we have here is by no means a minor problem, because the precise meaning of the title is influential in determining our impression of what the book was about. In the present paper, I shall try to demonstrate, in various ways, that the book-title has to be Φυσικάι δόξαι. [p. 64]

Unter Hinweis auf Cicero, Lucullus ( = Academica priom II) 118 und 123, Tusculanae disputationes 1 18 ff. und De nutum deorum I 25 ff. hat Hermann Dieis diese Frage bekanntlich bejaht.1 Die wichtigste Stelle, auf die ich mich aus mehreren Gründen beschränke,2 ist dabei der Passus über die Prinzipien Luc. 118, wo der Dissens (dissensio, Luc. 117) der Philosophen von Thaies bis zu Platon und den Pythagoreern kritisiert wird. Diels hat hier ganz auf­ fallend argumentiert. Zum einen hat er, teilweise zu Recht, hingewiesen auf Übereinstimmungen zwischen Luc. 118 und den entsprechenden Theophrastfragmenten bzw. Paraphrasen in Simplikios’ Kommentar zur ari­ stotelischen Physik, die Usener und er den Phys. op. zugewiesen haben.3 Als nächstes aber hat er Luc. 119-121 über die stoische Theorie der Vorsehung (SVFI I 92 u. 1161) und über Aristoteles’ {Dephilos. fr. 20 Ross) und Stratons (fr. 32 Wehrli) entgegengesetzte Auffassungen ausgeklammert, weil dieses Stück nicht auf Theophrast zurückgeführt werden könne. Aus den nach­ folgenden Paragraphen, die über verschiedene Ansichten von den Himmelskörpern und der Erde referieren, hat er schliesslich 123 “Hiketas von Syrakus, wie Theophrast sagt” {Hicetas Syracosius, ut ait Theophrastus . . . ) usw. wieder als Beweis dafür angezogen, dass die doxographische Übersicht zur Astronomie aus den Phys. op. stamme. In der Nachfolge Kri- sches hatte schliesslich schon Diels zu Recht bemerkt, dass Ciceros unmittelbare Quelle ein Akademiker, wohl ein Karneadesschüler, sein müsse. Das Textstück über Hiketas (auch abgedruckt Vorsokr. 51.1) hat er als Phys. op. fr. 18 aufgenommen {DG 492-3). Es ist dies der einzige Cicerotext in der betreffenden Dielsschen Sammlung.

Students of Middle Platonism are familiar with the phenomenon that the accounts of the divine provided by various authors of the 2nd cent. CE strike one as incoherent.1 Qualifications according to the viae negationis, analogiae, and eminentiae, which to us seem incompatible to a degree, tend to coexist in a peaceful jumble. On the one hand, the essence or nature of God is described by means of a refusal to predicate any attributes whatsoever. Attributes with­ held in this way may be arranged in polar pairs. On the other hand, God’s exis­ tence as a supreme cause tends to be described in a positive way by means, e.g., of varieties of the argumentum ex gradibus entium. The theology of ch. 10 of Alkinoos’ Didaskalikos is a notorious instance of such a medley. [p. 92]

Students of Middle Platonism are familiar with the phenomenon that the 
accounts of the divine provided by various authors of the 2nd cent. CE strike 
one as incoherent.1 Qualifications according to the viae negationis, analogiae, 
and eminentiae, which to us seem incompatible to a degree, tend to coexist in 
a peaceful jumble. On the one hand, the essence or nature of God is described 
by means of a refusal to predicate any attributes whatsoever. Attributes with­
held in this way may be arranged in polar pairs. On the other hand, God’s exis­
tence as a supreme cause tends to be described in a positive way by means, e.g., 
of varieties of the argumentum ex gradibus entium. The theology of ch. 10 of 
Alkinoos’ Didaskalikos is a notorious instance of such a medley. [p. 92]

Unter Hinweis auf Cicero, Lucullus ( =  Academica priom II)  118 und 123, 
Tusculanae disputationes 1 18 ff.  und De nutum deorum I  25  ff.  hat Hermann 
Dieis diese Frage bekanntlich bejaht.1 Die wichtigste Stelle, auf die ich mich 
aus  mehreren  Gründen beschränke,2 ist dabei der Passus über die Prinzipien 
Luc.  118, wo der Dissens (dissensio, Luc.  117) der Philosophen von Thaies bis 
zu  Platon  und  den  Pythagoreern  kritisiert  wird.  Diels  hat  hier  ganz  auf­
fallend argumentiert.  Zum  einen  hat er, teilweise zu  Recht, hingewiesen auf 
Übereinstimmungen  zwischen  Luc.  118  und  den  entsprechenden 
Theophrastfragmenten  bzw.  Paraphrasen in Simplikios’ Kommentar zur ari­
stotelischen Physik,  die Usener und  er den Phys.  op.  zugewiesen  haben.3 Als 
nächstes  aber  hat  er Luc.  119-121  über die  stoische  Theorie  der Vorsehung 
(SVFI I 92 u. 1161) und über Aristoteles’ {Dephilos.  fr. 20 Ross) und Stratons 
(fr.  32  Wehrli)  entgegengesetzte  Auffassungen  ausgeklammert,  weil  dieses 
Stück  nicht  auf Theophrast  zurückgeführt  werden  könne.  Aus  den  nach­
folgenden  Paragraphen,  die  über  verschiedene  Ansichten  von  den 
Himmelskörpern  und  der  Erde  referieren,  hat  er  schliesslich  123  “Hiketas 
von  Syrakus,  wie  Theophrast  sagt”  {Hicetas  Syracosius,  ut ait Theophrastus 
. . . )   usw.  wieder  als  Beweis  dafür  angezogen,  dass  die  doxographische 
Übersicht zur Astronomie  aus  den  Phys.  op.  stamme.  In  der Nachfolge  Kri- 
sches  hatte  schliesslich  schon  Diels  zu  Recht  bemerkt,  dass  Ciceros 
unmittelbare Quelle ein Akademiker, wohl ein Karneadesschüler, sein müsse. 
Das Textstück über Hiketas (auch abgedruckt Vorsokr.  51.1) hat er als Phys. op. 
fr.  18  aufgenommen  {DG  492-3).  Es  ist  dies  der  einzige  Cicerotext  in  der 
betreffenden  Dielsschen Sammlung. [Introduction, p. 133]

In Theophrastus’  bibliography at Diog. Laërt. V 48 the title is given in the 
genitive, Φυσικών δοξών, which means that the intended nominative may have 
been  either  Φυσικών  δόξαι  (The  Tenets  of  the  Philosophers  of  Nature)  or 
Φυσικαί δόξαι (The Tenets in Natural Philosophy).  Scholars have been divided 
over this issue; although the majority have followed Usener and Diels, there are 
a number of noteworthy  exceptions.8  What we have here is  by  no  means a 
minor  problem,  because  the  precise  meaning  of  the  title  is  influential  in 
determining our impression of what the book was about.  In the present paper, 
I shall try to demonstrate, in various ways, that the book-title has to be Φυσικάι
δόξαι.  [p. 64]
