Extract

The germ of the following paper is as old as the previous century, when in the year 1898 my attention was accidentally drawn to one of the passages discussed below. But progress was impossible until the facts of the MS.tradition of the Stromateis were properly presented–a service for which we are indebted to the excellent edition of Clement by Dr. O. Stählin (Leipzig 1906–1909).

1 The doctrine of the perfectness of the sphere is of course pre-Stoic. In the Timaeus of Plato it appears in more than one application; 33 B (on the Κύσμπς) and 73 C sqq. (of the brain and head) are not without their instructiveness for parts of the present inquiry.

1 Stoic influence, it may be added, has recently been traced in the cosmogony of Ovid Met. i. by Mr. F. E. Robbins, Classical Philology, 8. (1913)pp. 401 sqq.
