Notes on the current edition

The Double Indictment

1.
As Hermes gives each writ to Justice, he reads the heading and she tells him how many jurors are to be drawn. Her orders are carried out in silence, and the juries are all in readiness when the first case is called, which is not until she has filled the docket for the day (§ 15).
2.
Polemo, intemperate in his youth, went to a lecture by Xenocrates to create a disturbance, but was converted to philosophy by what he heard. He succeeded Xenocrates as ead of the Academy (Diog. L. iv. 1 ff.).
3.
Dionyaius the Convert was a pupil of Zeno, but became a Cyrenaic, “being converted to pleasure; for sore eyes gave him so much trouble that he could not bring himself to μaintain any longer that pain did not matter” (Diog. L. vii. 1, 31; cf. vii. 4).
4.
Follower of Socrates; later, founder of the Cyrenaic School.
5.
Diogenes the Cynic was son and partner of the banker Hicesias in Sinope. They were caught muking counterfeit coin; the father was put to death, and the son fled to Athens (Diog. L. vii. 2, 1).
6.
Pyrrho the Sceptic began life as an artist (Diog. L. ix. 11).
