Zeno of Citium
On Law
Written work
On Law
Περὶ νόμου
A lost treatise on law. The Stoics identified true law with the right reason that rules the cosmos, common to gods and men; no quotations survive to show how much of that doctrine was already formulated in this book by Zeno.

Authorship note
Lost work. Only the title survives, in Diogenes Laertius' list (VII 4), and in some cases indirect testimonies.
