Note 58 — ON ABSTINENCE FROM ANIMAL FOOD. BOOK THE SECOND.

Thomas Taylor translation

In the original, ως γαρ φασιν οι θεολογοι τοις δεομενοις υπο των εκτος και μηδεπω κρατουσιν των παθων, κ.τ.λ. But for δεομενοις, it is necessary to read δεδεμενοις; and it is evident that both the Latin translators of this work found δεδεμενοις in their manuscripts. For Felicianus has “qui devincti externis rebus sunt,” and Valentinus, “qui rebus externis illigantur.” Reisk, however, has taken no notice of this error in the printed text.
