Note 928 — Chapter IX · LEUKIPPOS OF MILETOS

Theophr. ap. Simpl. Phys. p. 28, 4 (R. P. 185). Note the difference of case in κοινωνήσας Παρμενίδῃ τῆς φιλοσοφίας and κοινωνήσας τῆς Ἀναξιμένους φιλοσοφίας which is the phrase used by Theophrastos of Anaxagoras (p. 293, n. 660). The dative seems to imply a personal relationship. It is quite inadmissible to render “was familiar with the doctrine of Parmenides,” as is done in Gomperz, Greek Thinkers, vol. i. p. 345.
