Note 822 — Chapter V · PERSIUS: STOIC SATIRE
Reading edition
Hor., Sat. II. ii. 60: “Bioneis sermonibus et sale nigro.” The varied linguistic elements and polemic artifices of the lost moral disquisitions of Bion are partially discernible in the remains of Teles, an obscure Cynic of the 3rd cent. B.C. For Bion, see Villeneuve, op. cit., pp. 130-135.
