For some time I have felt that there was some confusion and 

 corruption in the text, and that the last sentence must refer to the 

 rise of the worlds out of the a-ireLpov and their return into it at dissolu- 

 tion. The well-known difficulties of the text of Diogenes alone 

 deterred me from proposing a change. Now Diels, apparently from 

 the MSS., restores e/c tovtov for e/c tovtoov. That is obviously the 

 correct reading, whatever its source; but with it should of course go 

 the complementary reading els tovto for els raDra. The preceding 

 sentence, however, has likewise suffered. The dweLpop is clearly 

 conceived as the Aristotelian dpxrj Kal aTOLx^lov by the interpolator 

 or epitomator who supplied the clause <a> Kal aTOLX^ld (/)7?crt; for to 

 his mind the words tovtov to p.ev irXrjpes, to 8e Ktvbv do not suggest 

 spatial regions of the extended dirtipov, but ontological ykvr] of the 

 metaphysical dpxi?. His addition was absurdly misplaced, as were 

 many in the text of Diogenes; but once there, it corrupted the 

 following sentence. See above, p. 691, on V^ 17, 37.

The meaning of the phrase eul Xbyco has here been strangely 

 misconceived. Prantl renders it "in einer Begriindung"; Zeller, 

 1 847, n. 1, "aus den gleichen Principien"; Doring, Gcsch. der gr. 

 Philos., I. 238, "die von einem Princip ausgehende Losung"; Burnet, 

 Early Greek Philosophy^, 385, "on the same theory." I have failed 

 to find this passage noted in Kranz's Wortindcx, but in a similar one 

 (V^ 83, 8, evl be Xbyo) rravTa ktX.), omitting to quote irdvTa, he gives 

 the meaning of Xbyos as "\'ernunft" (V^ II. 2, 357, 30)! Similarly
