Notes:
[1] Adler cites the suggestion (in the Suda edition [1700] by Kuster) that this quotation comes from Diogenes Laertius. A TLG search shows, rather, that its source is Alexander of Aphrodisias, Commentary on Aristotle's Topica 345.9-10 Wallies.
[2] Not substantively connected with the previous material.
