<strong>ARISTOTLE</strong>'S WRITINGS 137<br />
CHAPTER III<br />
HISTORY <strong>AND</strong> ORDER OF <strong>THE</strong> WORKS OF <strong>ARISTOTLE</strong><br />
Strabo and Plutarch say that the works of Aristotle<br />
and Theophrastus passed, at the death of the latter,<br />
to his heir, Neleus of Scepsis, and that they were<br />
stowed away in a cellar <strong>by</strong> the heirs of Neleus, discovered<br />
only in the early part of the last century B.C.<br />
<strong>by</strong> Apellico of Teos in a decayed condition, brought <strong>by</strong><br />
him to Athens and thence <strong>by</strong> Sulla as spoils of war to<br />
Rome, where they were afterwards used and republished<br />
<strong>by</strong> Tyrannio and Andronicus. From 1 this story the<br />
writers named argue that to the Peripatetics who<br />
followed Theophrastus, not only the master's chief works,<br />
but also his true philosophical system was unknown,<br />
but they do not tell us whether this allegation is<br />
grounded on their own opinion, or on definite evidence,<br />
1<br />
The date of this edition must and Atticus (Cic. Ad Qu. Fr. ii. 6,<br />
have fallen somewhere about Ad Att. iv. 4, 8). His work at<br />
the middle of the last century Rome could not, therefore, have<br />
B.C. For as Tyrannio was in B.C. extended very far beyond the<br />
71 taken prisoner in Amisus and middle of the century, even<br />
released <strong>by</strong> Muraena (cf. Zellbr, though he perhaps lived on into<br />
Ph. d. 6fr., pt. iii. a, 560, 1), he the last third of it. (He died accould<br />
hardly have settled in cording to Suid. s. «. yripcubs, in<br />
Rome before Lucullus' return to the third year of an Olympiad<br />
Rome (66 B.C.). We know that the number of which has unhe<br />

capture a scholar of renown, About Andronicus cf. Zellbk,<br />
that he was instructing in B.C. Ph. d. Gr., pt. iii. a, 549, 3, and<br />
57 the sons of Cicero, and had above, p. 49, u. 6.<br />
some intercourse with the latter<br />

and if so, what the nature of the evidence might be. 1<br />
Later critics found in the tale a welcome explanation of<br />
the incompleteness and irregularities of the existing<br />
Corpus? If in truth the case were exactly as Strabo<br />
and Plutarch say, we should not only not wonder at the<br />
existing defects, but we should rather have expected a<br />
far wider and more hopeless corruption than appears in<br />
fact to exist.<br />
For if it were true of the most important<br />
