Reading edition

Chapter i. 1377 b. “In regard to πάθη and ἤθη, which move juries, the most important part is to know how these emotions are aroused and allayed. This alone, judging that it is none of their business, the rhetors have not borrowed from Aristotle, though they have borrowed everything else.” Philodemus, Rhetorica, trans. Hubbell, Transactions of the Connecticut Academy, vol. 23 (September, 1920), page 338.
