Note 146 — Lecture IV. GREEK AND CHRISTIAN RHETORIC.

There is a distinction between τὰ δικανικὰ and τὰ ἀμφὶ μελέτην, and both are distinguished from τὰ πολιτικὰ in Philostratus, V. S. 2. 20, p. 103. Elsewhere Philostratus speaks of a sophist as being δικανικοῦ μὲν σοφιστικώτερος σοφιστοῦ δὲ δικανικώτερος, “too much of a litterateur to be a good lawyer, and too much of a lawyer to be a good litterateur,” 2. 23. 4, p. 108.
