INTRODUCTION

This essay, or declamation, is clearly in an unfinished state throughout and a good deal is doubtless lost at the end, for the author has done little more with his subject than to show that φιλοστοργία [*] is more complete in man than in beasts.[*] The efforts of Döhner[*] and Weissenberger[*] to prove that the essay is not genuine have not been successful. Dohner is, further, quite wrong, as Patzig[*] and Weissenberger have shown, in assuming the work to be an epitome.

It is best regarded as an unfinished fragment, containing, so far as it goes, the rough and unrevised hand of Plutarch.

Dyroffs[*] attempt to show that this work was composed before De Esu Carnium, De Sollertia Animalium, and Gryllus is not to be taken seriously: the grounds are too slight.

The text is very corrupt. The work is not listed in the Lamprias catalogue.
