THE FRAGMENTS OF ZENO. 215 ἂν, added by Cobet, Ἕρμῆς λόγιος, 1. p. 487. rds...dmobdfes. There is no doubt some particular reference in this, the point of which it is difficult now to ascertain. May it refer to Antisthenes ? In Diog. L. vi. 2, we read of him: ὅτι ὁ πόνος ἀγαθὸν συνέστησε διὰ τοῦ μεγάλου Ἣρακλέους καὶ τοῦ Κύρου, and in the list of his works preserved by the same writer (vi. 15 - 18) we find three with the title Ἡρακλῆς, two of which bear the alternative title ἢ περὶ ἰσχύος. 188.

Mayor on Juv. XI. 27. πρὸς χάριν ἄκον᾽ = do not listen to flatterers, is the passive form of πρὸς ἡδονήν τι λέγειν (Thue. τι. 65), πρὸς ἡδονὴν δημηγορεῖν (Dem. Phil. 1. ὃ 38), πρὸς χάριν ἐρεῖς (Soph. O. T. 1152). The best illustration however is Stob. Ἐπὶ. τι. 7. 11%, p. 114, 28, the wise man οὔτε προσ- φέρει τινὶ οὔτε προσίεται τὸν πρὸς χάριν λόγον, Diog. L. ὙΠ 117: Meineke would also ascribe to Zeno the couplet quoted by Stob. Flor. 1. 12, where the lemma in the MSS. is Ζηνοδότου.

LES FRAGMENTS DE ZÉNON. 215 ἂν, ajouté par Cobet, Ἑρμῆς λόγιος, I. p. 487. τὰς...ἀποδείξεις. Il y a sans doute ici une allusion particulière dont il est aujourd'hui difficile de déterminer la portée. Pourrait-elle concerner Antisthène ? Chez Diog. L. VI. 2, on lit à son sujet : ὅτι ὁ πόνος ἀγαθὸν συνέστησε διὰ τοῦ μεγάλου Ἡρακλέους καὶ τοῦ Κύρου ; et, dans la liste de ses œuvres conservée par le même auteur (VI. 15 à 18), nous en trouvons trois intitulées Ἡρακλῆς, dont deux portent le titre alternatif ἢ περὶ ἰσχύος. 188. Galien, de cogn. animi morbis, V. 13, οὕτω γοῦν καὶ Ζήνων ἠξίου πάντα πράττειν ἡμᾶς ἀσφαλῶς, ὡς ἀπολογησομένους ὀλίγον ὕστερον παιδαγωγοῖς" ὠνόμαζε γὰρ οὕτως ἐκεῖνος ὁ ἀνὴρ τοὺς πολλοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἑτοίμους ὄντας τοῖς πέλας ἐπιτιμᾶν κἂν μηδεὶς αὐτοὺς παρακαλῇ. παιδαγωγοῖς : sur leurs fonctions, voir Becker, Charicles, trad. angl., p. 226. 189. Stob. Flor. 14, 4 = Anton. Meliss. I. 52, ἔλεγχε σαυτόν, ὅστις εἰ, μὴ πρὸς χάριν ἄκου᾽, ἀφαιροῦ δὲ κολάκων παρρησίαν. ἔλεγχε σαυτόν rappelle γνῶθι σεαυτόν ; voir les témoignages réunis chez Mayor sur Juv. XI. 27. πρὸς χάριν ἄκου᾽, « n'écoute pas les flatteurs », est la forme passive de πρὸς ἡδονήν τι λέγειν (Thuc. II. 65), πρὸς ἡδονὴν δημηγορεῖν (Dém. Phil. I. § 38), πρὸς χάριν ἐρεῖς (Soph. O. T. 1152). La meilleure illustration se trouve toutefois chez Stob. Ecl. II. 7. 11%, p. 114, 28 : le sage οὔτε προσφέρει τινὶ οὔτε προσίεται τὸν πρὸς χάριν λόγον ; Diog. L. VII. 117. Meineke voudrait également attribuer à Zénon le distique cité par Stob. Flor. I. 12, où le lemme des manuscrits est Ζηνοδότου.
