Sec.141. _Adquiescis_: MSS. are confused here, Halm reads _adsciscis_,
comparing 138. Add _D.F._ I. 23 (_sciscat et probet_), III. 17
(_adsciscendas esse_), III. 70 (_adscisci et probari_) Bait. follows Halm.

_incognito_ in 133. _Nullo discrimine_: for this see the explanation of

Sec.Sec.142--146. Summary. To pass to Dialectic, note how Protagoras, the
Cyrenaics, Epicurus, and Plato disagree (142). Does Antiochus follow
any of these? Why, he never even follows the _vetus Academia_, and
never stirs a step from Chrysippus. Dialecticians themselves cannot
agree about the very elements of their art (143). Why then, Lucullus,
do you rouse the mob against me like a seditious tribune by telling
them I do away with the arts altogether? When you have got the crowd
together, I will point out to them that according to Zeno all of them
are slaves, exiles, and lunatics, and that you yourself, not being
_sapiens_, know nothing whatever (144). This last point Zeno used to
illustrate by action Yet his whole school cannot point to any actual
_sapiens_ (145). Now as there is no knowledge there can be no art. How
would Zeuxis and Polycletus like this conclusion? They would prefer
mine, to which our ancestors bear testimony.

Sec.142. _Venio iam_: Dialectic had been already dealt with in 91--98 here it
is merely considered with a view to the choice of the supposed _sapiens_,
as was Ethical Science in 129--141 and Physics in 116--128. With the
enumeration of conflicting schools here given compare the one Sextus gives
in _A.M._ VII. 48 sq. _Protagorae_: R. and P. 132 sq. _Qui putet_: so MSS.,
Halm and Bait. _putat_ after Lamb. Trans. "inasmuch as he thinks".
