SECTION VIII.

EXTRANEOUS.

Besides the articles here mentioned, as found in the eighth section of Fœsius, accompanied with the Greek version; we find in Haller’s edition (8vo. Laus., vol. iv. p. 199, et seq.) sundry other small tracts, and which, after those from Fœsius, I shall introduce among the εξωτιϰα,a as probably their most appropriate location. How Haller comes by them, I do not altogether comprehend; nor how it is that Fœsius makes no mention of them, or at least of only two or three which are intermingled with the letters. I enumerate the letters as I find them in Fœsius, without reference to their contents.—Ed.

[a ]This section contains in the arrangement of Fœsius (p. 1271), under the title of τα εξωτιϰα, hoc est externa, the following articles: Epistolæ aliquot;—Atheniensium Senatus-consultum;—Oratio ad Aram;—Thessali Legati oratio;—Genus et Vita Hippocratis secundum Soranum.
