Addenda et Scholia (1)

I'm now finally in a position to cross-reference Mead's arrangement of the Stobæus excerpts in his Thrice-Greatest Hermes with the numbering in modern academic literature (following the edition of Nock & Festugiére).

  • Mead's I: sections 1-6 = SH 2B, the rest = SH 11.
  • Mead's II = SH 1.
  • Mead's III = SH 2B.
  • Mead's IV = SH 21.
  • Mead's V = SH 9 (Matter)
  • Mead's VI = SH 10 (Time)
  • Mead's VII = SH 5.
  • Mead's VIII = SH 4.
  • Mead's IX = SH 6 (Decans and Stars).
  • Mead's X = SH 8 (Providence, Necessity & Fate).
  • Mead's XI = SH 7 (Justice).
  • Mead's XII = SH 12 (Providence and Fate).
  • Mead's XIII = SH 14.
  • Mead's XIV = SH 16.
  • Mead's XV = SH 15 (Motion and Nature).
  • Mead's XVI = SH 20.
  • Mead's XVII = SH 17.
  • Mead's XVIII = SH 3.
  • Mead's XIX = SH 19.
  • Mead's XX = SH 18 (Power of Choice).
  • Mead's XXI = SH 27 (sentence on philosophical refutation).
  • Mead's XXII = SH 28 (sentence on "what is God?").
  • Mead's XXIII = SH 22 (from "Aphroditē").
  • Mead's XXIV = SH 29 (poem on planetary gods).
  • Mead's XXV = SH 23 (Korē Kosmou).
  • Mead's XXVI = SH 24 (continuation of Korē Kosmou).
  • Mead's XXVII: sections 1-7 = SH 25, sections 8-20 = SH 26.
SH 13, a single sentence extracted from an account of the opinions of various philosophers on the subject of Necessity, is not in Mead.
