Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers

This following passage, which is in the Life of Plato, page 123, verse 28, after these words: Yet Epicharmus speaks expressly to this effect concerning sensible and intelligible things: the translator had left untouched for no other reason, I suppose, than that it was exceptionally corrupted, or certainly so intricate that he despaired of being able to explain it. We have appended word for word what the exemplar contained, lest the gap leave the reader in suspense, and he might justly complain that something was missing.
