Fragments

Epictetus

A modern collection (Schenkl, 1916) of some thirty fragments and several dozen doubtful ones. Notable are Gellius' fragment about the philosopher frightened in a storm, which justifies instinctive fear by distinguishing it from assent (fr. 9), and the maxim "bear and forbear" (anechou kai apechou) transmitted by Gellius from Favorinus. Schenkl's fragments 8, 9 and 14 are considered especially valuable in completing the doctrine of the Discourses.
