186 Bohn Ed.) makes no mention of Theophrastus except to name 
him as one of five “ guardians of my children and of Herpyllis, 
and the trustees of all the property I leave behind me.’ The will 
appears to provide that, if Nicanor shall marry Aristotle’s daugh- 
ter the trustees shall turn the property over to him. “ But if 
anything should happen to Nicanor, which may God forbid, either 
before he receives my daughter in marriage, or after he has mar- 
ried her, or before he has any children by her, then any arrange- 
ments which he may make by will shall stand. But, if The- 
ophrastus, in this case, should choose to take my daughter in mar- 
riage, then he is to stand in exactly the same position as Nicanor.” 
Laertius does not say whether or not Theophrastus married the 
daughter of Aristotle and thereby acquired any of Aristotle’s 
property. 
Theophrastus mentions his garden several times in his will and 
leaves it to such of his friends as “ choose to hold a school ”’ in it. 
The Greek text (and Latin translation in parallel columns) of the 
wills of Aristotle and of Theophrastus may be found in Scriptorum 
Graecorum Bibliotheca. Paris. 1862.
