None of Aetius works survive today, but he solves a mystery about two major compilations of philosophical quotes. There are two extant books named Placita Philosophorum , Opinions of the Philosophers and Eclogae Physicae , Physical and Moral Extracts . The first of these is Pseudo Plutarch and the second is by Stobaeus . They are clearly both abridgements of a larger work. Hermann Diels , in his great Doxographi Graeci , discovered that the 5th century theologician Theodoret had full versions of the quotes which were shortened in the abridgements. This means that Theodoret had managed to procure the original book which Pseudo Plutarch and Stobeaus had shortened. He calls this book Aetiou t n peri areskont n sunag g n, and therefore we ascribe the original Placita to Aetius. Diels claimed that Aetius himself was merely abridging a work which Diels called the Vetusta Placita because he wrote his paper in Latin literally, Older Tenets . Unlike Aetius, whose existence is attested by Theodoret, the Vetusta Placita is Diels invention and is generally disregarded by modern classicists, e.g., the 1999 Cambridge History of Hellenistic Philosophy . Quotes which are ascribed to Aetius in scholarly essays were actually discovered in either the abridgements of Pseudo Plutarch or Stobaeus, or Theodoret s full quotes in rare cases, or finally ...

In Book VI of The Republic Plato defined a philosopher firstly as its eponymous occupation wisdom lover.

It is next and in support of the idea that philosophers are the best rulers that Plato fashions the ship of state metaphor, one of his most often cited ideas along with his allegory of the cave .

Albinus lang el floruit fl. c. 150 AD was a Middle Platonism Platonist Philosophy philosopher , who lived at Smyrna , and was teacher of Galen . ref Galen, De Libris Propriis 97.6ff. ref A short tract by him, entitled Introduction to Plato s dialogues , has come down to us. From the title of one of the extant manuscripts we learn that Albinus was a pupil of Gaius the Platonist . ref Tryggve G ransson, 1995 , Albinus, Alcinous, Arius Didymus , page 34. Acta Universitatis Gothoburgensis ref The original title of his work was probably Prologos , and it may have originally formed the initial section of notes taken at the lectures of Gaius. ref Tryggve G ransson, 1995 , Albinus, Alcinous, Arius Didymus , page 51 2. Acta Universitatis Gothoburgensis ref After explaining the nature of the Dialogue , which he compares to a Drama , the writer goes on to divide the Dialogues of Plato into four classes, logical, critical, physical, ethical, and mentions another division of them into Tetralogies, according to their subjects. He advises that the First Alcibiades Alcibiades , Phaedo , Republic Plato Republic , and Timaeus dialogue Timaeus , should be read in a series. Some of Albinus s fame is attributed to the fact that a 19th century German scholar, Jacob Freudenthal J. Freudenthal , attributed Alcinous philosopher Alcinous s Handbook of Platonism to Albinus. This attribution has since been discredited by the work of John Wittaker in 1974. ref John Whittaker, 1974 , Parisinus Graecus 1962 and the Writings of Albinus , Phoenix 28, 320 54, 450 56. ref ref http ccat.sas.upenn.edu bmcr 1994 94.10.14.html Bryn Mawr Classical Review 94.10.14 ref Another Albinus is mentioned by Boethius and Cassiodorus , who wrote in Latin some works on music and geometry .
