[Footnote 101: This expression, like many others in this epitome of Plato’s doctrines, is found in the Εἰς τὰ τοῦ Πλάτωνος Εἰσαγωγή of Alcinous, who flourished in Roman times. The best edition still seems to be Bishop Fell’s, Oxford, 1667. Alcinous’ work was, as will appear, the main source from which Hippolytus drew his account of Plato’s doctrines.] [Footnote 102: Alcinous, _op. cit._, c. 12.] [Footnote 103: _Ibid._, cc. 9, 12.] [Footnote 104: ἐδημιούργει. Not created _ex nihilo_, but made out of existing material as an architect makes a house.] [Footnote 105: Alcinous, _op. cit._, cc. 8, 10.] [Footnote 106: ἐξ αὐτοῦ συνεστάναι αὐτόν. So Cruice. Macmahon reads with Roeper αὐτῆς for αὐτοῦ, “the world was made out of it” (_i. e._ matter).] [Footnote 107: The body of the cosmos is evidently meant. Cf. Alcinous, c. 12.] [Footnote 108: _de Legg._, IV, 7.] [Footnote 109: ἀορίστως.] [Footnote 110: _Timæus_, c. 16.] [Footnote 111: _Phædrus_, c. 166.] [Footnote 112: γενεαλογῇ.] [Footnote 113: Alcinous, c. 25.] [Footnote 114: _Phædrus_, cc. 51, 52.] [Footnote 115: For this see the _Timæus_, c. 17.] [Footnote 116: This sentence is corrupt throughout, and there are at least three readings which can be given to it. I have taken that which makes the smallest alteration in Cruice’s text.] [Footnote 117: _Phædo_, c. 43.] [Footnote 118: I do not think this can be found in any writings of Plato that have come down to us. Hippolytus probably took it from Aristotle, to whom he also attributes it; but I cannot find it in this writer either. A passage in Arist., _Nicomachean Ethics_, Book II, c. 6, is the nearest to it.] [Footnote 119: So Alcinous, c. 29. The other statements in this sentence seem to be Aristotle’s rather than Plato’s. Cf. Diog. Laert., V, _vit. Arist._, c. 13, where he describes the good things of the soul, the body and of external things respectively.] [Footnote 120: Alcinous, cc. 28, 29.] [Footnote 121: _Ibid._, c. 27.] [Footnote 122: _Ibid._, c. 29.] [Footnote 123: _Ibid._, c. 26. The passage about the choice [of virtue] is in the _Republic_, X, 617 C. Hippolytus had evidently not read the original, which says that according as a man does or does not choose virtue, so he will have more or less of it.] [Footnote 124: Alcinous, c. 30.] [Footnote 125: This passage is not in the _Republic_, but in the _Clitopho_, as to Plato’s authorship of which there are doubts. Cruice quotes the Greek text from Roeper in a note on p. 38 of his text.] [Footnote 126: Alcinous, c. 30.] [Footnote 127: _Ibid._, c. 29.]
