| Summary: | Abstract In describing the Stoic principles, the manuscript tradition of DL 7.134 preserves readings which variously call them σώματα, ‘bodies’, or ἀσώματα, ‘incorporeals’; but the Suida quotes this passage with ἀσωμάτους, ‘incorporeal’.

This is not the only, or the clearest, case where the Suida can correct our text: another example considered here concerns DL 7.74. |
