| dc.description.abstract |
Mentions he is recovering from a "stricture of the ilium"; identifies himself along with Short as an Epicurean, the tenets of which he discusses at length, including a syllabus of Epicurean doctrines; mentions other philosophers including Plato, Socrates, Cicero, Seneca, and the "greatest of all reformers of the depraved religion of his own country," Jesus; wishes that there was a historian who could separate Jesus' own words from those of his biographers, "the rubbish in which it is buried." |
