ADDITIONAL SOURCES FOR THE TEXT
1. P. Mon. Gr. Inv. 329, published by D. Manetti, Ricerche di Filologia
Claesica 1 (1981), pp. 116-123, Fragment of a papyrus codex, dated A. D. II—ΙΠ,
containing portions of PHP I, pp. 88.20-31 and 90.12-22. At p. 90,21 the pa-
pyrus has ττερι in agreement with C^. Otherwise it agrees with 0, except at p. 88.26,
where it has έμ[φύονται and at p. 90.19, where it has ]υμαι. Ιμ[φ may be correct,
as it is accompanied by both elç and άπό ; for the confusion of έμφ and έκφ in С
see the critical note to p. 94.15. ]υμαι, as Dr. Manetti points out, is either a mis-
spelling of οΐμαι or the remnant of some other verb, perhaps ήγΌ]Ομαι, If the
latter, it may replace the two words γάρ οΐμαι. The combination γάρ ήγουμαι
does not occur elsewhere in PHP. Dr. Ann Hanson has identified P. Berol. Inv.
21141 as a fragment continuous with P. Mon, Gr. Inv. 329. The new fragment
contains parts of lines 29—31 on p. 88 and of lines 20-22 on p. 90. Dr. Hanson
is preparing an edition of the two fragments.
2. To p. 30. Yalensis 234. The scholia to Galen that are found on folios
177—198^ of this manuscript were edited by P. Moraux, Unbekannte Galen-
Schohen, Zeitschr. f. Papyrologie und Epigraphik 27 (1977), pp. 1-63. They
contain five excerpts from PHP:
PHP Yalensis
490.12 όνομάζεται - 30 ούσίαν 44.75-46.91 Moraux
490.32 εκαστον - 492.2 προσαγορεύομεν 45.91-93 Moraux
496.16 TÒ μέν - 21 τεττάρων 49.221-60.226 Moraux
566.19 τήν διαιρετικήν - 21 διαφορών 18.249-262; 49.206-207 Moraux
666.23 ίμπαλιν - 26 Ιόντι 18,262-264; 49.207-210 Moraux
They also contain two passages that are similar to passages in PHP:
360.22 16.200-201 Moraux
636.28-29 28.612-613 Moraux
The title of PHP appears as ΠερΙ των καθ' Ίτητοκρ^ττην καΐ Πλάτωνα δογ-
μάτων on pp. 9.21-22; 46.93-94; 49.211; cf. 18.266. On pp. 9, 49, and 60 there
are errors in the ascription of excerpts to PHP; these errors suggest that the
scholiast did not have the fuU text of PHP before him. Moraux reports (p. 3)
that the same scholia are found in Paris. Gr. 2147, and that the Paris me. is a
copy of the Yale ms. He dates Yalensis 234 in the 14th century, Paris. Gr. 2147
in the 16th.
The excerpts in Yalensis 234, as edited by Moraux, exhibit the following
textual variants:

3. Το ρ. 31 note 1. Dr. V. Nutton, John Caius and the Linacre Tradition,
Medicai ffistory 23 (1979), p. 388 n. 87, reports that many of these corrections
were incorporated in Caius' Opera aliquot et versiones, Louvain, 1566.
4. To p. 37. A copy of the Basileensis, Vol. I, in Marsh's Library, Dublin,
contains on pp. 303—342 annotations by Theodore Gtoulston, 1572-1632. Some
of these annotations are followed by the letters Reg or Re, apparently referring
to a manuscript now lost. Dr. Nutton informed me of the existence of these
annotations and sent me his notes on them. I was subsequently able to confirm,
in part from the volume itself, in part from microfiba, the readings assigned

to Go(ukton) or Re(g) in the app. crit. The assistance of the National Library
of Ireland, Dr. Nutton, and Mrs. Muriel McCarthy, Assistant Deputy Keeper
of Marsh's Library, is gratefully acknowledged.
5. To p. 46. Abu Sa'id ibn BahtíSü', Fi Jaß masäW wa-suhük su4la 'anhä
wa-wu^vbi n-namr 'ala t-tabib fi l-ahdöti n-nafsäniya wa-fi kauni l-'isqi maradan
("About the solution of some problems and doubts put to him and about the
physician's duty to study what is going on in the soul and about the fact that love
is an illness"), cf. M. UUmann, Die Medizin im Islam, Leiden, Köln 1970, p. 110,
edited by F. Klein-Franke, Über die Heilung der Krankheiten der Seele und des
Körpers, Beirut, 1977. This tract contains five excerpts from РБР :
PHP Ibn Bahtîsû'
168.4 'Οτ»-7κα3ίδρνπ·αι 33.14-17 (transi. 63)
278.14 ó δ' "Αδμητος - 18 έκεκρίκει 50.6-8 (transi. 83)
424.21 Όμήρου - 33 εύλογον 50.10-14 (transi. 83)
480.4 Περί - 7 έξευρεϊν 34.2-6 (transi. 64)
518.26 Ταύτην - 31 λέγειν 26.1-6 (transi. 55)
Three textual variants are to be noted:
168.5 μή cm., ut vid.
424.21 Όμήρου <μόνου> μνημονεύσω] I think it best to restrict myself to what
Homer said
518.27 τή διδασκαλί?] and the adherence to the rule (гоа-Ыгйт al-qänün)
(424.31 δι' έρωτικήν έττι9υμ{αν is not missing, as it appears from the German
translation.)
(518.31 μηδ' is not missing, as it appears from the (Jerman translation; read
'ala tarkihî, "for omitting", instead of'ató 6am¿ató, "für die segensreiche Mühe-
waltung".)
There is a further reference at least to the title, but it is doubtful whether
the matter that foUows this reference is derived from PHP. The passage reads
(45.6-12; transi. 77): 'Ύοη know - may God reward me with your presence
for ever — that the specific parts of the soul are three, i. e. the rational, which
belongs to the brain, the angry, which belongs to the heart, and the concupiscent,
which belongs to the liver, and that this is the opinion of Hippocrates and of the
majority of the philosophers - Plato spoke about it and it is what Galen demon-
strated in the book 'The opinions of Hippocrates and Plato' — and that each
of these three parts has movements and aims, and when one of them exceeds
the state of its movements or deviates from its aims, it causes something outside
the natural state and harms the person first in the organ which is peculiar to
that part, and afterwards, if its damage continues, it harms some other of the
remaining organs." — It is possible that the Galenic source for this passage was
in either the lost portion of PHP I or the lost tenth book mentioned by Hunain
and Bhazes (see above, pp. 42 ; 44—45). But it is also possible that the passage
is an interpretation and expansion of PHP VII 3.2—3: pp. 438.28—440.8, where
Galen mentions the power and the work of each of the three principal organs.
The power produces a movement, and the work affects both the organ itself
and the other parts of the body. Galen also speaks of the damage caused by
excessive motion in the third organ. An interpreter could readily take the work
614 Additional sour oes
(Ιργον) of an organ tobe its end (τέλθ5); cf. Aristotle, Metaph. θ 8: 1050 a 21:
TO γάρ ?ργον τέλοξ.
Grateful acknowledgement is made to Dr. V. Nutton for information about
Caius, Groulston, and Abu Sa'id ibn Bahtïsû' ; to the officers of the Marsh Library,
Dublin, for permission to examine Goulston'a copy of PBLP and to have it micro-
filmed ; to Dr. G. Strohmaier for preparing the entry on Abü Sa'id ; to Dr. F. Rusch
and the Computing Center of Northwestern University for making possible the
compüation of a machine index on which the Index nominum and Index verborum
have been based; and to Dr. KoUesch and her colleagues at the Akademie der
Wissenschaften der DDR for their patient assistance at aU stages in the prepa-
ration and pubHcation of this volume.
