Title: Pseudo-Plutarch und Stobaios
Description: The work of Aëtios (1st century AD) is often regarded as the only source for testimonies of the Presocratic and Hellenistic philosophers. This philological study examines to what extent the later works of Pseudo-Plutarch and Stobaios allow for a complete reconstruction of this work, thus testing the Aëtios hypothesis established by Hermann Diels in 1879.
