G. Vlastos, in Gnomon, XXV (1953), pp. 34-5, claims that he (and J. E. Raven before him) have laid to rest "the alleged corporeality of Melissean Being in the grave which contains Burnet's famous dogma of Eleatic materialism." There is a surprising finality about this claim of Vlastos', and it behooves his critics to consider whether such finality is justified. I think myself that, while Vlastos' arguments are forceful and well ex- pressed, they still fail to carry absolute conviction; and in this brief discussion I shall try to set out the reasons for my scepticism. [p. 61]

In den philosophischen Texten der späten Kaiserzeit stößt man zuweilen auf den Namen Ptolemaios, ohne daß dabei an einen Lagiden oder an den berühmten Astronomen zu denken wäre. Wie jene Zitate auf einen oder mehrere Träger dieses Namens zu verteilen seien, war eine einst viel diskutierte Frage, die dann allerdings im Anschluß an eine Vermutung W. v. Christs durch das Buch von A. Chatzis (Der Philosoph und Grammatiker Ptolemaios Chennos I = Stud. z Gesch. u. Kult. d. Altert. VII 2, Paderborn 1914) endgültig dahin beantwortet schien, es handele sich bei all diesen Ptolemaioi immer wieder um Ptolemaios Chennos aus der Zeit um 100 n. Chr., der uns durch den Auszug des Photios aus seiner καινὴ ἱστορία (cod. 190) recht gut bekannt ist. Diese Frage soll hier einer erneuten Prüfung unterzogen werden. [introduction, p. 314]

G. Pfligersdorffer has recently described the attitude of the an- cient editor, Andronicus of Rhodes, towards the final notes in Aristotle's Categories on opposites, simultaneity, priority, motion and possession-what the medievals called the postpraedicamenta.

This article by N. B. Booth examines whether Zeno's arguments were a response to criticisms of Parmenides's principle „the One“. Despite evidence that Zeno was concerned with defending Parmenides's „One“, his arguments about plurality seem to refute the "ones" of a plurality. One possible explanation is that Zeno's arguments were used to counter criticisms of Parmenides's „One“ before he produced them. Plato's Parmenides includes a passage in which "Zeno" apologizes for his book on plurality, which has been interpreted as an answer to criticisms of Parmenides's theory, but Booth notes that Plato's characters are idealized and it is not certain that Zeno's arguments were a response to attacks. Booth looks at the arguments themselves for evidence and suggests that if some of Zeno's arguments against plural "ones" were valid against Parmenides's „One“, it would be fair to infer that they were used by hostile critics and Zeno was throwing them back in their faces.

This article deals with four almost classic problems in Anaximander. Of these the first is of comparatively minor importance, and the second is important not for what Anaximander thought but for what Aristotle thought he thought. Problem I is: Did Anaximander describe his 3 dE"repov as apX-, ? Problem 2: Did Aristotle mean Anaximander when he referred to people who postulated an intermediate substance? Problem 3: Did Anaximander think that there were innumerable successive worlds? Problem 4: What is the extent and implication of the extant fragment of Anaximander ? Appended is a brief con- sideration of the nature of Theophrastus' source-material for Anaximander; on one's opinion of this question the assessment of the last two problems will clearly depend.

Die Hauptquelle für die Darstellung der Lehren Heraklits, die Theophrast in seinen Phusikôn doxai gab, ist der Bericht bei Diogenes Laertius 9, 7-II. Er zerfällt in zwei Teile, eine knappe Übersicht (im folgenden DL1) und ein ausführliches Referat (im folgenden DL2). Nach DIELS stammt DL1 aus einer Mittelquelle biographischer Tradition, auf die auch der Einschub mit den Zitaten und die Bemerkung über Heraklits Stil zurückgehe, der zweite Teil dagegen direkt aus Theophrast (Doxographi Graeci I63 f., vgl. auch I80).

Ammonias, bien que païen et élève de Proclus, avait su, dès la fin du Ve siècle, faire à l'Église les concessionsnécessaires pour que fût toléré son enseignement officiel à Alexandrie. Mais il convient de reconnaître le rôle capital quedut jouer, quelque vingt à trente ans plus tard, un de ses élèves chrétiens, Jean le grammairien, philoponos dans l'Églised'Alexandrie : il couvrit son maître, et en éditant sous son nom à lui ses rédactions des commentaires à Aristote exposésoralement par Ammonius, et en publiant, dans l'année critique 529, son propre ouvrage De aeternitate mundi ContraProclum, qui détachait opportunément de l'École d'Athènes l'École d'Alexandrie.

By 'in a subject' I mean what (a) is in something, not as a part, and (b) cannot 
exist separately from what it is in. (Aristotle, Categories la24-5) 
These lines have been extensively discussed in recent years. [...] The task I've set for myself in this paper is not to argue for either the weak 
or the strong interpretation of inherence in Aristotle. That is already a 
well-tr;odden path. Instead I shall look at what the ancient commentators on Aristotle had to say on the subject. Which interpretation, the strong or the 
weak, do they support? My strategy is to focus on one of the many problems 
they consider, that of fragrance, and to see if their treatment of it yields an 
answer. [pp. 290 f.]

In  this paper,  I  will  focus on  the  meaning  and  function  of epitêdeiotês in Simplicius and I will argue, based on an analysis of different passages of chapter 8 of Simplicius'  Commentary on  Aristotle’s  Categories,  that  epitêdeiotês  is  not a  mere  substitute  for the  Aristotelian  notion  of dynamis,  in  Simplicius  either. 
However,  it will  become apparent  that  Simplicius  does  not  make  any  effort to clearly distinguish  epitêdeiotês from dynamis,  an aspect that  might  have led Todd to assume that epitêdeiotês is a mere substitute for the Aristotelian notion of dynamis. The fact that Simplicius does not explicitly distinguish epitêdeiotês from dynamis  does,  however, not necessarily  imply that he does not make anydistinctions between the two notions.

This paper tries to establish that supralinear omicron is not, as most elementary introductions to Greek paleography have it, a simple abbreviation for the ending omicron-sigma. Rather, it was originally a symbol for suspension that later medieval scribes used also for other subordinated purposes which are impossible to classify. Some examples will be given in what follows. For a long time this interpretation had seemed so obvious to me that during a 1985 colloquium on Simplicius in Paris, it surprised me that some members of the audience objected that supralinear omicron is simply an abbreviation for omicron-sigma. As this occurred during my discussion of a passage of Simplicius’s Commentary on Aristotle’s Physics, and as several of my examples come from that work, it is convenient to give a list of the manuscripts used by Diels and also of additional prim ary witnesses either rejected by, or not known to him.

This article addresses questions concerning the characteristics of the paganism of Harran, its eclectic sources, and its development by examining the relationships - real, possible, and fictitious - of various personalities with the city of Harran from Assyrian times till the Mongol attack in 1271. It is suggested that the Sabians used Neoplatonism, which, if Tardieu's analysis is correct, they originally learned from Simplicius, to develop, explain, and justify their practice of astral magic, and that their interest in the Greek astronomy and astrology that astral magic required served to maintain the study and to preserve the texts of these sciences during the centuries in which they were ignored in Byzantium. It is further shown that the Greek philosophical and scientific material available to them was mingled with elements from ancient Mesopotamia, India, Iran, Judaism, and Egypt to form a syncretic system of belief that they could claim to be mankind's original and authentic religion.

The most important ancient writing on the history of European 
thought was  the  Physical  Opinions of  Theophrastus.1 In  this 
work of  sixteen  or  eighteen books Theophrastus gave  for  the  first 
time a systematic treatment of earlier views on the main problems of 
science and philosophy. Its  influence in  antiquity is  attested  by  the 
frequency and respect with which it  was referred to by  later ancient 
writers. But  its unique position was not  fully appreciated by modern 
scholars  until Usener2 collected  the fragments  of it and Diels 
scrutinized these  fragments in  relation  to  the  large  body  of  other 
doxographical writings. Diels  proved that  these  writings,  far  from 
being isolated and independent, were virtually all  derived directly or 
indirectly from the Physical  Opinions.3 This  fact has  been of  great 
consequence for the evaluation of  both the  doxographers and Theo- 
phrastus.  Statements of  such writers as  Aetius  have  been  invested 
with the full authority of Theophrastus, and, on the other hand, this 
authority has  seemingly been enhanced by  the  very  number of  the 
doxographers who accepted it.  When a  report has  been traced back 
to the Physical Opinions, scholars have been satisfied that it has been 
traced to  an  "unimpeachable source" and  that  it  "must have  been 
based on direct acquaintance" with the original Presocratic writing. [p. 85]

Following Simplicius, Thomas set up the Platonic and Aristotelian philosophical viae as complementary oppositions each of which contributed to the truth. Thomas also followed 
Simplicius in discerning differences between the hermeneutic methods of the two great schools. He reproduced the history of philosophy of Simplicius as soon as he had his commentaries, agreed with many of his conciliating judgments, and used the same reconciling logical figures. He does not identify himself as a Peripatetic or as a Platonist. 
However, when he agrees that Aristotle’s way of reasoning, per viam motus, to the existence of 
separate substances is manifestior et certior, he is sitting in judgment with, not against, Simplicius. For both the sixth and the thirteenth century commentators, Plato and Aristotle are assimilated to each other in various ways, and the real possibility of any beginning except that from the sensible is excluded. Thomas’ hermeneutic is that of the Platonic tradition in late Antiquity – Thomas certainly thought that the truth was veiled under poetic and symbolic language and judged this to be essential for revealing the truth to humans. 
Consistently with this approach, in the exposition of the De Caelo, Aquinas goes so far with 
Simplicius as to find “something divine (fabula aliquid divinum continet)” in the myth that Atlas 
holds up the heavens.106 He would seem, thus, to be on his way to the reconciliation of religious as well as of philosophical traditions. If this should, in fact, be his intent, Thomas would be following Simplicius and his Neoplatonic predecessors in their deepest purposes. This Christian priest, friar, and saint would have placed himself with the “divine” Proclus among the successors of Plato. [Conclusion]

[Conclusion, p. 81]: ies of books that do not sell fast enough. 
We conclude that we cannot, merely on the basis of the Strasbourg 
fragments, confidendy assign to (book two of?) the physical poem the grue- 
some fragment (now plus its new context) Stein and Diels assigned to the 
Purifications.  Until further evidence turns up, only a non liquet  is feasible, 
and we should keep open the possibility that we are dealing with 'Z?y 
Empedocle de Strasbourg'. And the 6s in the papyrus fragments discussed 
above are simply wrong. The slighdy bizarre interpretation based on them 
may be abandoned.

This text discusses the comparison between the fragments of Hippasus and Heraclitus by Theodoret of Cyrus. The similarities between the two texts suggest that they have a common source, which is probably Theophrastus. This observation confirms Theophrastus' use of systematic categories, including unity and plurality, motion, limitation and restriction. [introduction]
