of Eden, Gen. 2. 9, to ^vKov tov dbkvai ypcoaTov kuXov Kai irovrjpov, 

 where, but for the confirmation of the MS. text by Philo Jud. 1. 55, 

 27, one might be incHned to suspect that yvooarov was a corruption of 

 yvwcxLv or ypccfxrjp. If Ion's phrase reminds us of such Homeric locu- 

 tions as vo-qixara ydr] {^ 121) and yUTjSea olbe (2 363), we find something 

 closely analogous to that of Heraclitus in Plato, Apol. 20 E, oh yap Srj 

 670176 avT-qv (sc. 7571^ ao4>iau) eTrtcrrayuat. In this last phrase, however, 

 the comparison with 20 D, KLvbvvehw Tavrrjv elvat cro06s, may suggest 

 that Plato had in mind the old force of eiriaTaadaL, "be skillful."^ 

 However, Theognis 564, ao4>lr]v wdaap eincrTaiJLeuov, has the same 

 construction. Cp. ibid. 1157. If, then, we so interpret ewiaTaadaL 

 yvco/jL-qv, we cannot take the relative orer] so closely with yvdoix-qv as the 

 ordinary view requires. I should rather say that oTer} was roughly 

 equivalent to r) ye, quippc quae, as bans in fr. 57 means id pote quiy 

 and render the fragment somewhat as follows: "One thing only is 

 wisdom: to get Understanding: she it is that pervades all things and 

 governs all."

Diels, Die Anf'dnge der Philologie bei den Griechen, Neue Jahrbucher, 

 XXV (1910), I. Abteilung, p. 3, says, "Der Gleichklang der Worte 

 (3t6s (Pfeil) und /3tos (Leben) war ihm ein iiusseres Zeichen fUr seine 

 Lehre, dass die Gegensatze Leben and Tod im Grunde eins seien." 

 Zeller I, 640, n. 2, expresses himself in much the same way. I have 

 no desire to controvert this interpretation, so far as it goes; but it 

 seems to me that the words of Heraclitus imply much more. In V* 

 Diels properly refers to Hippocrates, Ilept Tpo(t)r]s, 2 (V^ 86, 1 sq.), rpcx/)??

 epyov be ovxi' epyov Tpo4>ri, ovvop.a be ovxi- With this passage of un- 

 doubtedly Heraclitean origin we should take fr. 37, sues caeno, cohor- 

 tales aves pulvere vel cinere lavari; for the thought apparently is 

 that mud and dust are not owyuart Avater, but are epycp identical 

 with it. Fr. 13, 5eT yap tov x^P'-^^t'^ fir}Te pvirdv ^riTe avxfi^^v fJ^'fjTe iSop^opco^ 

 XG-'ipf^iv Kad' 'Hpd/cXetrot', where ^op^opco xatpetj^ alone seems to belong 

 to Heraclitus, may conceivably have reference to the same problem, 

 the philosopher meaning to imply that we should call things and men 

 by names conformable to their epyov: by their fruits ye shall know 

 them! Plotinus Enn. 1. 6. 6, ecrri 7ap brj, cos 6 TraXatos X670S, Kal 17
