Preface
This is the fifth volume in the RUSCH series to focus on Theophrastus’
colleagues, pupils and successors. I.e., those Peripatetic philosophers,
whom Fritz Wehrli brought together under the label “Die Schule des
Aristoteles.” Volume 9 was devoted to Demetrius of Phalerum, volume
10 to Dicaearchus of Messana, volume 11 to Eudemus of Rhodes, and
volume 12 to Lyco of Troas and Hieronymus of Rhodes. The present
volume, no. 13, concentrates on Aristo of Ceos, who was active in the
last quarter of the third century BCE and almost certainly Lyco’s suc-
cessor as head of the Peripatetic School. Work on other members of the
Peripatetic School is in progress and will be published in subsequent
volumes of RUSCH.
Volume 13 contains a new edition of the fragments of Aristo. The
Greek and Latin texts are accompanied by a critical apparatus of vari-
ant readings and by an English translation together with notes of vari-
ous kinds. The essays that follow are concerned with the identity of
Aristo, the papyrological tradition, Aristo’s treatment of arrogance, and
sayings attributed to Aristo in Greek gnomologies. The volume con-
cludes with two essays on natural science. One considers the dimin-
ished interest in physics that began to characterize the Peripatos in the
time of Lyco and Aristo. The other turns our attention to zoology and
the work of Aristo’s contemporary Aristophanes of Byzantium.
As in volume 12, so in this volume the collected essays are revised
versions of papers presented at a conference on The Early Hellenistic
Lyceum, held at the University of Texas at Austin on March 29–31,
2001. We want again to thank the College of Liberal Arts and the De-
partment of Classics for hosting the conference, and especially Profes-
sor Cynthia Shelmerdine, the Chair of Classics at the time. As on so
many previous occasions, we are indebted to Diane Smith, who pre-
pared the camera-ready copy that was used in producing this volume.
