nd P. 174 sq. _Simile_ ought
perhaps to be _sui simile_ as in _Tim._ c. 7, already quoted on I. 30, see
my note there and cf. I. 35. _Menedemo_: see Zeller _Socr._ 238, R. and P.
182. The _Erctrian_ school was closely connected with the Megarian. _Fuit_:
= _natus est_, as often. _Herilli_: so Madv. for _ulli_ of MSS.
Sec.130. _Aristonem_: this is Aristo of Chios, not Aristo of Ceos, who was a
Peripatetic; for the difference see R. and P. 332, and for the doctrines of
Aristo the Chian _ib._ 358, Zeller 58 sq. _In mediis_: cf. I. 36, 37.
_Momenta_ = _aestimationes_, [Greek: axiai] in 36, where _momenti_ is used
in a different way. _Pyrrho autem_: one would expect Pyrrhoni as Dav.
conj., but in 124 there is just the same change from _Pyrrhoni_ to
_Xenocrates_. [Greek: Apatheia]: Diog. IX. 108 affirms this as well as
[Greek: praiotes] to be a name for the sceptic [Greek: telos], but the name
scarcely occurs if at all in Sext. who generally uses [Greek: ataraxia],
but occasionally [Greek: metriopatheia]; cf. Zeller 496, R. and P. 338.
[Greek: Apatheia] was also a Stoic term. _Diu multumque_: n. on I. 4.
Sec.131. _Nec tamen consentiens_: cf. R. and P. 352 where the differences
between the two schools are clearly drawn out, also Zeller 447, 448.
_Callipho_: as the genitive is _Calliphontis_, Cic. ought according to rule
to write _Calliphon_ in the nom; for this see Madv. on _D.F._ II. 19, who
also gives the chief authorities concerning this philosopher. _Hieronymus_:
mentioned _D.F._ II. 19, 35, 41, V. 14, in which last place Cic. says of
him _quem iam cur Peripateticum appellem nescio_. _Diodorus_: see Madv. on
_D.F._ II. 19. _Honeste vivere_, etc.: in _D.F._ IV. 14 the _finis_ of
Polemo is stated to be _secundum naturam vivere_, and three Stoic
interpretations of it are given, the last of which resembles the present
passage--_omnibus aut maximis rebus iis quae secundum naturam sint fruentem
vivere_. This interpretation Antiochus adopted, and from him it is
attributed to the _vetus Academia_ in I. 22, where the words _aut omnia aut
maxima_, seem to correspond to words used by Polemo; cf. Clemens Alex. qu.
by Madv. on _D.F._ IV. 15. See n. below on Carneades. _Antiochus probat_:
the germs of many Stoic and Antiochean doctrines were to be found in
Polemo; see I. 34, n. _Eiusque amici_: Bentl. _aemuli_, but Halm refers to
_D.F._ II. 44. The later Peripatetics were to a great degree Stoicised.
_Nunc_: Halm _huc_ after Jo. Scala.
