532 EPISTLE OF S. POLYCARP.
in animis regendis coercendisque et in acerrimo studio eo progress!
sint ut nihil cedant vere philosophantibus.'
Haec Galenus.
This is Fleischer's translation from the Arabic. A similar statement is attributed
to Galen 'in Commentario in Phaedonem Platonis' in Gregor. Barhebr. Chronicon
Syriacum II. p. 55 (Bruns et Kitsch); but it is mixed up with some demonstrably
false matter.
Metam. ix. 14.
(vi)
Apuleius [c.
a.d. 160— 170].
Tunc spretis atque calcatis divinis numinibus, in vicem spretae
religionis mentita sacrilega praesumptione Dei quern praedicaret
unicum, confictis observationibus vanis, fallens omnes homines et
miseruni maritum decipiens, etc.
This woman, whose character is painted in the darkest colours, is supposed to be
represented here as a convert to Christianity but this is doubtful. There must however
have been Christians at this time, or soon after, in Madaura the native place
;
of
Apuleius, as may be inferred from the martyrdoms which occurred there a few years
later (see above, p. 522 sq).
For the date of this work see Teuffel Gesch. der Rom. Liter. § 345.
(vii)
LuciAN [c.
A.D. 165, 180].
(a)
De morte Feregrmi 11 sq.
The passages are quoted above, p. 137 sq. This work was written apparently
soon after a.d. 165.
(b) Alexander 25.
