Oswald J. (Oswald Joseph) Reichel translation
Besides Diog. vii. 188, and Sext. Pyrrh. iii. 207, see Chrysippus’s own words, in Sext. Pyrrh. iii. 247 (Math. xi. 193). The majority of the Stoics appear to have limited cannibalism to cases of extreme necessity. See Diog. 121. Chrysippus had probably been speaking, in the context, of the different modes of treating the dead among various nations (Cic. Tusc. i. 45, 108), intending to prove that no uniformity of practice prevailed. ↑
