Reading edition
Hence the name of Theophrastus, or the divine speaker, given to the favourite scholar and successor of Aristotle; And hence the stories told of Plato, whose eloquence Quintilian so much admired, that he thought it more than human—Ut mihi, non hominis ingenio, sed quodam Delphico videatur oraculo instinctus. Quintil. l. x. c. 1.—Hence too, the name of Chrysostom, given to the famous Greek Father.
