Fragments and testimonies

Zeno of Citium

The only form in which Zeno can be read today. It comprises the life and sayings in Diogenes Laertius VII 1–38—the shipwreck, the pot of lentils, "a friend is another self", "we have two ears and one mouth to listen more and speak less"—the doctrines the sources expressly attribute to him in logic (comprehension illustrated with the hand), physics (the two principles, fire, the soul as warm breath) and ethics (the end, the appropriate, the passions), and the testimonies on his Republic. Von Arnim's edition numbers 332 fragments of Zeno.
