OCD4 Nicomachus(1).
[1] sigma 977; cf. alpha 3929, nu 399, sigma 979.
[2] alpha 3929. Diogenes Laertius [5.1] cites Timaeus for the information that Nikomachos was Aristotle's son by his concubine Herpyllis.
[3] See theta 199 and compare Diogenes Laertius 5.39, who obtained the information from Aristippus, On the Luxury of the Ancients.
[4] This might be a misattribution of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics to his son, after whom it was named; cf. Cicero, De Finibus 5.12 (web address 1).
