Note 33 — ON ABSTINENCE FROM ANIMAL FOOD. BOOK THE FIRST.

In the original, αλλα παρασκευασαμενον το θαρρειν τῃ ψυχῃ γνησιως ουτως αντεχεσθαι των καθ’ ημεραν. But the editor of the quarto edition of this work, who appears to have been nothing more than a mere verbal critic, says, in a note on this passage, that the word αντεχεσθαι, signifies pertinacissime illis inhærere, nihil ultra studere; whereas it must be obvious to any man who understands what is here said, that in this place it signifies to endure.
