Note 867 — Chapter VIII · THE YOUNGER ELEATICS

Simplicius expressly says in one place (p. 140, 30; R. P. 133) that he is quoting κατὰ λέξιν. I now see no reason to doubt this, as the Academy would certainly have a copy of the work. If so, the fact that the fragments are not written in Ionic is another confirmation of Zeno’s residence at Athens.
