A History of Greek Economic Thought
Trever, Albert Augustus
Economics -- Greece -- History; Thesis (Ph. D.)
Book iii, in Latin, is of later origin, and is of no economic
interest. Book i is perhaps from Eudemus of Rhodes, a pupil of
Aristotle and Theophrastus (Zeller, II, 2, 869 ff.), but Philodemus
(_De vita_ ix) assigns it to Theophrastus (Zeller, II, 2, 944); cf.
Susemihl, introduction to his edition of the _Economica_, 1887. Book
ii is later, but from the Peripatetic school (Zeller, II, 2, 945).

from Xenophon and Aristotle.

(II, 2, 181, n. 6) points out that _Eud. Eth._ makes a similar
distinction, in that he places economics between ethics and politics.
