Hitherto reconstructions of Empedocles’ cosmic cycle have usually been offered as part of a larger work, a complete history of Presocratic thought, or a complete study of Empedocles. Consequently there has perhaps been a lack of thoroughness in collecting and sifting evidence that relates exclusively to the main features of the cosmic cycle. There is in fact probably more evidence for Empedocles’ main views than for those of any other Presocratic except Parmenides in his Way of Truth. From a close examination of the fragments and of the secondary sources, principally Aristotle, Plutarch, and Simplicius, there can be formed a reasonably complete picture of the main temporal and spatial features of Empedocles’ cosmic cycle. [Introduction, p. 29]

This text discusses the interpretation of the word "zôros" in a couplet attributed to Empedocles, as quoted by various ancient authors such as Plutarch, Simplicius, Theophrastus, Aristotle, Athenaeus, and Eustathius. The author considers the different meanings attributed to the word, including mixed and unmixed, and argues that the context and source of the quotations must be considered in interpreting the couplet.
