Note 15 — ON ABSTINENCE FROM ANIMAL FOOD. BOOK THE FIRST.

Thomas Taylor translation

The original in this place is, ἢ δι’ απατην ουν, ἢ το μηδεν διαφερειν ηγεισθαι προς φρονησιν, κ.τ.λ.; but, for ἢ το μηδεν διαφερειν, I read δια το μηδεν διαφερειν. And this appears to have been the reading which Felicianus found in his MS.; for his version of this passage is, “Vel igitur deceptione inductus, quod sive hoc sive illo modo vescaris, &c.”
