Notes:
[1] From the
Synagoge (
Lexica Segueriana eta248); also in
Photius,
Lexicon eta28, and in a Cyrillian entry of
Hesychius (eta54). Both terms are frequently used as synonyms, especially in patristic literature.
[2] An almost literal quotation from
Diogenes Laertius 7.159 (with slight differences arising from the need to adapt it to the part excerpted from the
Synagoge).
Diogenes is explaining here the thought of the Stoic philosophers, particularly, in this case, of
Sphaerus and
Chrysippus (on whom cf.
chi 568 and
chi 569).
