Note 34 — FRAGMENTS OF TAURUS, A PLATONIC PHILOSOPHER, ON THE ETERNITY OF THE WORLD. EXTRACTED FROM PHILOPONUS AGAINST PROCLUS.
Thomas Taylor translation
The sentence in the original is: εθος δε Πλατωνι διδασκαλιας χαριν, ὡς γινομενα παραδιδοναι. But immediately after χαριν, it is obviously necessary to add αγενητα. Mahotius also, who published a Latin translation of this work of Philoponus, has, “Mos est autem Platoni, doctrinæ gratia, quæ ortu carent, perinde atque ea, quæ oriuntur, explicare.”
