Thales, on being asked, \"What is God?!\" \"That,\" replied he, \"which has neither beginning nor end.\"\n27 \"And arithmetic\" (added by Roeper).\n30 Or, \"in conformity with his hypothesis.\"\n32 Or, \"an everlasting nature;\" or, \"having the roots of an everlasting nature in itself,\" the words \"as it were\" being omitted in some MSS.\n34 1t should be probably, \"monad, number.\" The monad was with Pythagoras, and in imitation of him with Leibnitz, the highest generalization of number, and a conception in abstraction, commensurate with what we call essence, whether of matter or spirit.\n35 Kobisqh in text must be rendered\" multiplied.\" The formulary is self-evident: (a2)2 = a4, (a2)3 = a6, (a3)3 = a9.\n36 Or Thallis, Aethalides, a son of Hermes, was herald of the Argonauts, and said never to have forgotten anything. In this way his soul remembered its successive migrations into the bodies of Euphorbus, Hermotimus, Pyrrhus, and Pythagoras. (See Diogenes' Lives, book viii. chap. i. sec. 4.)\n37 No name occurs more frequently in the annals of Greek literature than that of Diodorus. One, however, wiih the title \"of Eretria,\" as far is the translator knows, is mentioned only by Hippolytus; so that this is likely another Diodorus to be added to the long list already cxisting. It may be that Dioclorus Eretriensis is the same as Diodorus Crotnniates, a Pythagorean philospher. See Fabricius' Biblioth. Grac., lib ii. cap. iii., lib. iii. cap. xxxi.; also Meursius' Annotations, p. 20, on Chalcidius' Commentary on Plato's Timaeus. The article in Smith's Dictionary is a transcript of these.\n38 Aristoxenus is mentioned by Cicero in his Tusculan Questions, book i. chap. i. xviii, as having broached a theory in psychology, which may have suggested, in modern times, to David Hartley his hypothesis of sensation being the result of nerval vibrations. Cicero says of Aristoxenus, \"that he was so charmed with his own harmonies, that he sought to transfer them into investigations concerning our corporeal and spiritual nature.\"\n39 Zaratas is another form of the name Zoroaster.\n40 Or, \"is a nature according to musical harmony\" (preceding note); or, \"The cosmica system is a nature and a musical harmony.\"\n41 Zaras, or Zoroaster, is employed as a sort of generic denomination for philosopher by the Orieintals, who, whatever portions of Asia they inhabit, mostly ascribe their speculative systems try a Zoroaster. No less than six individuals bearing this name are spoken of. Arnobius ( Contr. Gentes., i. 52) mentions four-(1) a Chaldean, (2) Bactrian, (3) Pamphylian, (4) Armenian. Pliny mentions a fifth as a native of Proconnesus ( Nat. Hist.., xxx. 1), while Apaleius ( Florida, ii. 15) a sixth Zoroaster, a native of Babylon, and contemporar with Pythagoras, the one evidently alluded to by Hippolytus. (See translator's Treatise on Metaphisics, chap. ii.)\n42 Or, \"that it was hot and cold,\" or \"hot of moist.\"\n43 Or it might be rendered, \"a process of arrangement.\" The Abbe Cruice (in his edition of Hippolytus, Paris, 1860) suggests a different reading, which would make the words translate thus, \"when the earth was an undigested and solid mass.\"\n44 [See book vi. cap. xxii., infra, and note. But Clement gives another explanation. See vol. ii. p. 385, this series.]\n46 Or, \"leading them down into cells, made them,\" etc.; or, \"made his disciples observe silence,\" etc.\n47 Or, \"and beast,\" more in keeping with the sense of the name; or \"a lamb\" has been suggested in the Gottingen edition of Hippolytus.\n48 Or, \"traveller into the sea;\" or, \"mute ones from the sea;\" or, \"from the sea a glittering fish.\"\n49 Or, \"being the instructor of this (philosopher).\"\n50 Proclus, in his commentary on Plato's Timaeus, uses almost the same words: \"but Heraclitus, in asserting his own universal knowledge, makes out all the rest of mankind ignorant.\"\n51 Or, \"and among these, Socrates a moral philosopher, and Aristotle a logician, originated systems.\"\n55 That is, Antipodes. Diogenes Laertius was of the opinion that Plato first indicated by name the Antipodes.\n56 Or, \"727 times,\" is an improbable reading.\n57 \"In moisture\" is properly added, as Plutarch, in his De Placitis, v. xix., remarks that \"Anthimander affirms that prinmiary animials were produced in moisture.\"\n58 This word seems requisite to the sense of the passage.\n59 B.C. 610. On Olympiads, see Jarvis, Introd., p. 21.]\n60 Or, \"revolutionary motion.\"\n61 Plutarch, in his De Placitis Philosophorum, attributes both opinions to Anaximenes, viz., that the sun was moved both under and around the earth.\n63 Aristotle considers that Anaxaporas was the first to broach the existence of efficient causes in nature. He states, however, that Hermotimus received the credit of so doing at an earlier date.\n65 Simplicius, in his Commentary on Aristotle's Physics, where (book i. c. 2) Anaxagoras is spoken of, says that the latter maintained that \"all things existed simultaneously-infinite things, and plurality, and diminutiveness, for even what was diminutive was infinite.\" (See Aristotle's,Metaphysics, iii. 4, Macmahon's translation, p. 93.) This explains Hippolytus' remark, while it suggests an emendation of the text.\n66 Or, \"in the Antipodes; \" or, \"from the snow in Aethiopia.\"\n67 Or, \"overpowered by the sun,\" that is, whose light was lost in the superior brilliancy of the sun.\n71 Or, \"both many of the rest of the animal kingdom, and man himself.\" (See Diogenes Laertius' Lives, ii. 17.)\n72 There is some confusion in the text here, but the rendering given above, though conjectural, is highly probable. One proposed emendation would make the passage run thus: \"for that each body employed mind, sometimes slower, sometimes faster.\"\n74 The next sentence is regarded by some as not genuine.\n76 Or, \"when again mutually connected, that different entities were generated.\" (See Diogenes Laertius' Lives, ix. 30-32.)\n77 [Died in his hundred and ninth year, B.C. 361.]\n80 [Incredible. Cyrus the younger, fell at Cunaxa B.C. 401. Cyrus the elder was a contemporary of Xenophanes.]","title":"chr/ecf/005/footnote/fn3.htm","type":"page"}
