Proceedings of the 27th International Congress of Papyrology Warsaw, 29 July – 3 August 2013 pp. 315–345 Christian Vassallo TOWARDS A COMPREHENSIVE EDITION OF THE EVIDENCE FOR PRESOCRATIC PHILOSOPHY IN THE HERCULANEUM PAPYRI* D. M. Hermanni Diels et Theodori Gomperz T he prominent role of the Herculaneum papyri in the reconstruction of the Presocratic tradition can be easily proved through a numerical comparison between the Herculanean testimonia more or less directly concerned with Presocratic philosophers and those known through Graeco-Egyptian papyri. The Corpus dei Papiri Filosofici Greci e Latini (CPF) gives evidence from Graeco-Egyptian papyri concerning about 25 Presocratics.1 For the purpose of this argument the name of Leucippus in P. Tura III (= Van Haelst 645; LDAB 773), col. XV, 27 is included. But, as we know, in this case the papyrological context is so full of gaps as * This paper was written as part of a research project funded by the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme 2007–2013, ERC Starting Grant 241184-P. Herc. I wish to express my sincere gratitude to W. Benjamin Henry for kindly revising and improving the English version of the manuscript. We should also take into account the papyrological evidence for Pythagoreans and Sophists considered as philosophical schools or movements (cf. infra, Appendix).

CHRISTIAN VASSALLO to make the identification of the Atomist Leucippus, proposed by Gerhard Binder and Leo Liesenborghs, very uncertain.2 On the other hand, as far as the Herculanean tradition is concerned, my preliminary work on a Corpus Praesocraticorum Herculanense (CPH)3 has enabled me so far to identify in the Herculanean collection references to almost 40 Presocratic philosophers.4 Of course, one should also consider the total amount of evidence concerning the Presocratics preserved in the Herculanean and non-Herculanean sources. In this case, if one includes fragments, doxographical information, reminiscences and simple name quotations, the Graeco-Egyptian testimonia for Presocratic philosophers are not too much more numerous than about 180 Praesocratica Herculanensia which I have counted so far.5 Furthermore, we have to bear in mind that in this case the difference is due both to the large mass of Graeco-Egyptian papyrological evidence concerning the Orphics6 and to some sensational discoveries of recent years such as the famous Strasbourg Empedocles (P. Strasb. gr. inv. 1665–1666 = Mertens-Pack3 356.11; LDAB 824)7. 2 G. Binder, L. Liesenborghs, Didymos der Blinde. Kommentar zum Ecclesiastes (TuraPapyrus), I.1., Kommentar zu Eccl. Kap. 1, 1–2, 14 [= Papyrologische Texte und Abhandlungen 25], Bonn 1979, p. 72 (app.). See CPF I.1**, 65, p. 467, where it is rightly noted that we have nothing on which to base a comparison between this piece of papyrological evidence and the evidence for Leucippus collected in DK. In any case, if we wish to exclude P. Tura III, col. XV, 27 from the Presocratic sources, we could include instead P. Hibeh 13, if this text is really to be attributed to Alcidamas (so A. Brancacci) rather than to Hippias (so F. W. Blass and others). See A. Brancacci, ‘Alcidamante e PHibeh 13 De musica. Musica della retorica e retorica della musica’, [in:] idem, Musica e filosofia da Damone a Filodemo.

PRESOCRATIC PHILOSOPHY IN THE HERCULANEUM PAPYRI In any case, the sheer number of the Herculanean testimonia suggests the major impact that they could have on a new comprehensive edition of the fragments of the Presocratics. To understand this better, we need to consider briefly the use of the Herculanean texts in the Diels-Kranz collection. In fact, Hermann Diels took the Herculanean evidence for the Presocratics into account long before 1903, when the first edition of the Fragmente der Vorsokratiker appeared.8 The Doxographi Graeci of 1879,9 the famous article Über ein Fragment des Empedokles, published in the same year in the Sitzungsberichte der Preussischen Akademie,10 and later on the Poetarum Philosophorum Fragmenta11 represented for the German scholar a sort of philological training in view of the selection of the Herculanean texts that he was going to establish while collecting the Vorsokratiker. In the Vorsokratiker Diels included altogether 60 Herculanean sources spread over a list of 24 authors. The passages at issue included only two pieces of 1999. For simple reasons of chronology (the relevant volume came out seven years before the edition of Martin and Primavesi), this papyrus does not appear in CPF I.1**, 49. 8 A very careful reconstruction of the Herculanean studies of Diels, drawing on the publication of his correspondence with Th. and H. Gomperz by M. Braun, W. M. Calder III & D. Ehlers (eds), Philology and Philosophy. The Letters of Hermann Diels to Theodor and Heinrich Gomperz (1871–1922), Hildesheim 1995, has been given by T. Dorandi, ‘Gli studi ercolanesi di Hermann Diels’, [in:] W. M. Calder III & J. Mansfeld (eds), Hermann Diels (1848–1922) et la science de l’antiquité [= Entretiens sur l’antiquité classique 45], Genève 1999, pp. 227–260. From this research it emerges that ‘Diels aveva cominciato a occuparsi dei testi ercolanesi già nel 1875 spinto dalla lettura di alcuni scritti del Gomperz con il quale era in corrispondenza almeno fin dagli inizi del 1871’ (ibidem, p. 229). On this question, see also M. Gigante, La Germania e i Papiri Ercolanesi [= Sitzungsberichte der Heidelberger Akademie der Wissenschafte 1], Heidelberg 1988, pp. 37–38; 47. For a more general analysis of the editorial work of Diels and of his interest in the Presocratics, I refer to J. Mansfeld, ‘Hermann Diels (1848–1922)’, [in:] O. Primavesi & K. Luchner (eds), The Presocratics from the Latin Middle Ages to Hermann Diels [= Philosophie der Antike 26], Stuttgart 2011, pp. 389–420. 9 H.

CHRISTIAN VASSALLO evidence for Democritus in Epicurus’ masterpiece !ερ$ φ&'εω',12 three testimonia for Empedocles and one for Democritus in Demetrius Laco’s works contained in P. Herc. 1012 (Opus incertum)13 and P. Herc. 1014 (On Poems, Book 2)14 respectively, but above all a very large number of testimonia in several works by Philodemus.15 As far as this last author is concerned, the extraordinary role of the treatise On Piety, which Diels knew through the old edition of Theodor Gomperz,16 stood out in his selection. From that work he drew very important evidence for several Presocratics (Musaeus, Epimenides, Pherecydes, Acusilaus, Anaximenes, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Anaxagoras, Diogenes of Apollonia, Democritus and Prodicus). However, the Presocratic thinkers quoted in Philodemus’ On Piety are much more numerous, as the later partial editions of that work by Adolf Schober,17 Albert Henrichs18 and, as far as the first part of the work is concerned, Dirk Obbink19 have clearly shown. In this paper I present my critical reconstruction of two columns of this text in order to demonstrate how Presocratic doxography could be further enriched by the use 12 Epic., Nat. XXV, P.

PRESOCRATIC PHILOSOPHY IN THE HERCULANEUM PAPYRI of the recent multispectral images of the Herculaneum papyri (MSI) together with an accurate reading and a scrupulous transcription of the original manuscripts preserved in the Officina dei Papiri Ercolanesi of the National Library in Naples. Diels relied on editions which were not principally founded on autopsy of the original manuscripts. And this fault caused him, on the one hand, to exclude from his collection some evidence which the progress of Herculanean studies brought to light only many years later, and to include, on the other, some fragments in which there is actually no real trace of the Presocratics. Both of these points apply to two important Presocratic philosophers, viz. Xenophanes and Empedocles, whom I would like now to treat in more detail. In the Nachträge to the first volume of the Vorsokratiker, Diels took into account a Herculanean passage which turns out to have no reference to Xenophanes, viz. col. XXV of P. Herc. 1289, containing Book 2 of Philodemus’ work On Epicurus.20 In this passage Achille Vogliano21 wrongly thought that he could restore the dative !!(ε<ν>ο)φ[&ν]ει. Ettore Bignone,22 basing himself on Vogliano’s edition, considered this Herculanean text to be a proof of the anti-sceptical polemics of Epicurus in the Letter to the Philosophers of Mitylene. In fact, in his opinion, the letter was directed against Presocratics, Academics, and Peripatetics in relation to two kinds of problems: firstly, ethics and the denial of any role to liberal studies in philosophical education; secondly, scepticism, and the criticism of all philosophical trends which did not consider the senses as criteria of truth. Xenophanes would have been directly involved in the dispute because of his scepticism, attested to by fr. 34 DK, which I will shortly mention. In the seventies David N. Sedley was the first scholar to throw new light on this topic by restoring the name (]ρκεφ+ντι in place of the imaginary reading !!(ε<ν>ο)φ[&ν]ει of Vogliano. The new text 20 H. Diels & W.

CHRISTIAN VASSALLO excluded the possibility that the fragment refers to the question of Presocratic scepticism.23 Still, I have found so far 5 Herculanean testimonia for Xenophanes.24 The first one represents a very recent acquisition, fr. 23 Janko of P. Herc. 207, a roll containing Book 4 of Philodemus’ work On Poems. Then there are 3 fragments transmitted by P. Herc. 327, attributed to the Survey of Philosophers of Philodemus on the basis of palaeographical considerations.25 All these texts are extremely significant for Xenophanes’ doxography and in general for the history of ancient atheism. A peculiar papyrological case is represented by fr. 16 Sudhaus (I, p. 275) of P. Herc. 1015/832. As far as the papyrological aspects are concerned, a first autopsy of the original manuscript led me to exclude the possibility that the letters !"# (l. 14) belong to the original layer of the roll, because of the large sovrapposto at the end of that column. Consequently I denied that there could be any trace of Xenophanes there or in Philodemus’ treatise On Rhetoric generally.26 But thanks to David Blank,27 who is preparing a new critical edition of P. Herc. 1015/832 (a Herculaneum roll currently assigned to Book 8 of that work28), 23 D. N. Sedley, ‘Epicurus and the Mathematicians of Cyzicus’, Cronache Ercolanesi 6 (1976), pp. 23–54, at 27–28. This conclusion has been confirmed by the later edition of A. Tepedino Guerra, ‘L’opera filodemea Su Epicuro (P. Herc. 1232, 1289β)’, Cronache Ercolanesi 24 (1994), pp. 5–53, at 43–44. See M. Gigante, Scetticismo e Epicureismo. Per l’avviamento di un discorso storiografico [= Elenchos 4], Naples 1981, pp. 27–29. 24 An in-depth report on the presence of Xenophanes in the Herculaneum papyri is now given in Ch. Vassallo, ‘Xenophanes in the Herculaneum Papyri. Praesocratica Herculanensia IV’, Archiv für Papyrusforschung 60 (2014), pp. 45–66. 25 On this point, see G. Cavallo, Libri scritture scribi a Ercolano. Introduzione allo studio dei materiali greci [= Cronache Ercolanesi Suppl. 1], Naples 1983, p. 31, who associates with the same graphical trend (group D) P. Herc. 327 and P. Herc. 495, 558, 1508 and 1780, the last all belonging to the %&νταξι, τ-ν φι/ο,1φων. See also M. C. Cavalieri, ‘La Rassegna dei filosofi di Filodemo: Scuola eleatica ed abderita (P. Herc. 327) e Scuola pitagorica (P. Herc. 1508)?’, Papyrologica Lupiensia 11 (2002), pp. 17–53, at 21–23. 26 That is what I argued in the paper that I read during the Congress in Warsaw. 27 A new critical reconstruction of the final section of the roll was already given by D. Blank, ‘Aristotle’s ‘Academic Course on Rhetoric’ and the End of Philodemus, On Rhetoric VIII’, Cronache Ercolanesi 37 (2007), pp. 5–47. F. Longo Auricchio, ‘Nuovi elementi per la ricostruzione della Retorica di Filodemo’, Cronache Ercolanesi 26 (1996), pp. 169–171, at 171. But a different and more convincing

PRESOCRATIC PHILOSOPHY IN THE HERCULANEUM PAPYRI I had the opportunity to return to this complex stratigraphical problem. The provisional edition of the fragment (fr. 16a Blank) which Blank has kindly showed me saves the sequence !"#$% at line 14 of the column and reopens the old debate on the identification of this name: Xenophanes or Xenophon? As is well-known, on the grounds of Gomperz’s Oxonian apograph, these letters were taken by Sudhaus to belong to the name of the Presocratic, while in the same passage Gomperz suggested an allusion to Xenophon.29 I am sure that a new compehensive edition of this roll will throw new light on the words that can actually be restored in the column at issue and above all on their contextualization in the book of the multivolume treatise to which they belong. As far as the content is concerned, I would only observe that it would be at least difficult to imagine in that context a plausible connection between the ‘good rhetoricians for philosophy’ (ll. 1–2 Sudhaus: ο[' ()τ]ορε- | [δι0 φι]2ο[-]οφ3[α-] 5[γ]αθο3) and the name of a Presocratic philosopher like Xenophanes. But on this occasion I will dwell instead on the fifth piece of evidence, which is by far the most important. I refer to fr. 12 of P. Herc. 1428. In this testimonium we can read the following words:30 Fr. 12: P.

Then Parmenides (continues on) The diple obelismene placed under the line 33 indicates the transition from a doxographical section to another, in this case to the section specifically devoted to Parmenides, whose name is clearly legible at the end of the column (l. 34).

PRESOCRATIC PHILOSOPHY IN THE HERCULANEUM PAPYRI immediately before the diple certainly refer to Xenophanes. This is demonstrated by, among other things, the stylistic similarity of the Herculanean text to a parallel passage of Book 1 of Cicero’s On the Nature of the Gods: Tum Xenophanes, qui mente adiuncta omne praeterea, quod esset infinitum, deum voluit esse, de ipsa mente item reprehendetur ut ceteri, de infinitate autem vehementius, in qua nihil neque sentiens neque coniunctum potest esse. Nam Parmenides etc.32 Next, Xenophanes endowed the universe with mind, and held that, as being infinite, it was god. His view of mind is as open to objection as that of the rest; but on the subject of infinity he incurs still severer criticism, for the infinite can have no sensation and no contact with anything outside. As for Parmenides, etc.33 Diels in the Doxographi Graeci compared this Latin text in a synoptic way to fr. 12 of P. Herc. 1428,34 even though he did not believe that Cicero depended on Philodemus in this field.35 Robert Philippson, less prudent critica epicurea alla filosofia presocratica’, [in:] M. Capasso, F.

Diels] speaks of the ‘archetypus’ of P [= pseudo-Plutarch] and the material in S [= Stobaeus] which as at the time he believed had been used by Philodemus in the On Piety, which in its turn would have been used by Cicero in ND 1.10 ff., and by Varro’. 35 Diels, Doxographi Graeci (cit. n. 9), pp. 121–129, assumed that both Cicero and Philodemus followed the treatise !ερ$ θε&ν of the Epicurean Phaedrus. As we know, a specific request for the theological work of Phaedrus by Cicero is testified in Cic., ad Att. XIII 38, 1 and 39, 2, on which see A. R. Dyck, Cicero.

CHRISTIAN VASSALLO than Schober with regard to the supplements, considered the final lines of the fragment a clear ‘Anspielung auf die vermeintliche Skepsis des Xenophanes’.36 He was evidently inclined to divide it into two sections, with theological and epistemological content respectively. But his reading τ"] µ!ηδ!%ν γιν)*κειν, besides failing to explain what kind of things Xenophanes’ scepticism referred to, cannot be reconciled with the evidence of the original manuscript, which categorically excludes the reading µ!ηδ!-ν proposed by Philippson and restores instead the perfect *υ!µ|β-!βηκεν at lines 32–33. Thus we can infer that the infinitive γιν)*κειν refers still to Xenophanes and not to human knowledge in general. At the same time the new reading does not exclude the possibility that the passage has epistemological implications.

PRESOCRATIC PHILOSOPHY IN THE HERCULANEUM PAPYRI of ancient philosophy and for Presocratic doxography, because the Herculanean evidence comes many decades before the testimonia of Plutarch and Sextus Empiricus on Xenophanes’ scepticism. In the first lines of the fragment the supplements of Philippson and Schober do not give a completely certain reference to the qualities of God in Xenophanes’ thought. But parallel passages37 give us good grounds for believing that in this doxographical section the active and passive immobility of God was at issue. The philosophical connection of such an important theological problem with the second part of the fragment allows us to formulate a wide range of hypotheses, among which I would mention at least two. a) The first takes the second part of fr. 12 as a proof of Xenophanes’ Eleatism in the view of Philodemus or more generally in the Epicurean approach to the history of Presocratic philosophy. According to this approach the image of Xenophanes as a forerunner of the Eleatic school would be confirmed. In this case the fragment would testify not only to Xenophanes’ generic scepticism but also to his specific assent to the traditional Eleatic theory of a strong separation between !"#θεια and δ)ξα and of the consequent inability of the senses to reach the truth.38 If so, the Herculanean fragment should be compared, on the one hand, with the radically sceptical evidence of pseudo-Plutarch (DK 21 A 32), which maintains the deceptive nature of the senses and the inadequateness of human reason for knowledge;39 on the other hand, with the moderately sceptical evidence of the Peripatetic Aristocles (DK 21 A 49), who confirms that the senses give no access to truth and are useless for knowledge, but at the same time does not associate reason with this sceptical approach (on the contrary, in the view of Aristocles the ")γο- is the only trustworthy human faculty).40 b) The other interpretation sets the 37 See supra the evidence quoted in the critical apparatus of my edition. See, for example, DK 28 B 7–8. A good and exhaustive treatment of the role of the senses and the relationship between opinion and truth in Parmenides, with a rich and up-to-date bibliography, can be found now in M. Kraus, Parmenides, [in:] D. Bremer, H. Flashar & G. Rechenauer (eds), Frühgriechische Philosophie (cit. n. 36), I.2, pp. 441–530. 39 Ps.-Plut., Strom. 4 (ap.

CHRISTIAN VASSALLO supposed scepticism of Xenophanes against its theological and ontological background. I think this is the best way to understand the Herculanean evidence. If so, it seems reasonable to consider fr. 12 of P. Herc. 1428 as a unity and to associate it with the words of the well-known fr. 34 DK, where Xenophanes says: κα# τ% µ&ν ο)ν *αφ&* ο,τι* .ν/ρ 1δεν ο4δ5 τι* 6*ται ε7δ8* .µφ# θε:ν τε κα# ;**α <5γω περ# π@ντων· ε7 γAρ κα# τA µ@<ι*τα τBχοι τετε<ε*µ5νον ε7πDν, α4τ%* Eµω* ο4κ οFδε· δGκο* δ’ Hπ# πI*ι τ5τυκται.41 No man knows, or ever will know, the truth about the gods and about everything I speak of; for even if one chanced to say the complete truth, yet oneself knows it not; but seeming is wrought over all things [or fancy is wrought in the case of all men].42 τA* φαντα*Kα* µεταβ@<<ειν, α4τM δ& µGνον τM <GγN πι*τεBειν· (...) Among the supporters of this position Aristocles joined Xenophanes directly to the Eleatics (Parmenides, Zeno, Melissus), and he added besides the followers of Stilpon and the Megarics.

PRESOCRATIC PHILOSOPHY IN THE HERCULANEUM PAPYRI Having illustrated the presence of Xenophanes in the Herculanean texts, I will briefly mention as a second example the case of Empedocles. The significant role of this Presocratic in the Herculaneum papyri, and more generally in Epicurean philosophy, has been highlighted by several studies in the last few decades.43 In the Vorsokratiker Diels took into account the only 3 important fragments quoted in the philological and apologetic work of Demetrius Laco transmitted by P. Herc. 1012. In addition, he placed among the testimonia P. Herc. 1428, fr. 3 (= DK 31 A 33), which, as Carlo Gallavotti was the first to demontrate, contains no reference to Empedocles.44 Luckily this is the only place where a false claim has been made concerning the presence of Empedocles in the Herculaneum papyri. On the other hand, the considerable progress achieved in editorial work allows us today to add 12 further testimonia to the 3 contained in P. Herc. 1012.45 I would like to draw particular attention to two of them. The first, recently edited by David Armstrong and Joseph A. Ponczoch, is col. VI of P. Herc. 1570, containing an Epicurean treatise on the effects of poverty and wealth, most probably written by Philodemus.46 In this pas43 See C. Gallavotti, ‘Empedocle nei papiri ercolanesi’, [in:] J.

Herc. 1428. This is the other passage of Philodemus’ On Piety of which I offer here my critical reconstruction. Even though the identification of sovrapposti and sottoposti in the original manuscript has considerably changed the old editions of Philippson and Schober, the text that I have restored confirms in my opinion the reference to Empedocles which the two German scholars already detected.48 Here is what we can read today in this Herculanean fragment:49 Fr. 14 : P.

For this reason he thought that in On Piety, as in the text of Cicero, the treatment of Empedocles in fr. 14 of P. Herc. 1428 followed the doxographical section on Parmenides (fr. 13).50 In fact, Cicero’s criticism of Empedocles concerns the relation between the theology and the four elements, viz. physical topics rather than ritual and religious ones.51 As for fr. 14, Philippson thought that it was concerned with Empedocles’ well-known disapproval of animal sacrifices.52 Some 50 R. Philippson, ‘Zu Philodems Schrift über die Frömmigkeit’ (cit. n. 36), p. 367: ‘Die Kritik des Parmenides beginnt 4d 8 und umfaßt noch 1428 BC 22 (5a S. 68) = G. Bei Cicero folgt Empedokles. Diesem muß das genannte unveröffentlichte Bruchstück angehören; aber auch noch 5b (S. 68)’. 51 Cic., ND I 12, 29: ‘Empedocles autem multa alia peccans in deorum opinione turpissume labitur. quattuor enim naturas, ex quibus omnia constare censet, divinas esse vult; quas et nasci et extingui perspicuum est et sensu omni carere’. 52 Philippson, ‘Zu Philodems Schrift über die Frömmigkeit’ (cit. n. 36), pp. 367–368: ‘Daß Empedokles Tieropfer als Sünde betrachtete, ist bekannt’. But he wrongly found in the fragment a reference to the Megarians, which led him to suggest, as an alternative, an improbable reference to Epicharmus (‘Doch kann auch an Epicharm gedacht werden, der aus jenem Megara stammte und als Geistesverwandter des Pythagoras auch wohl die

CHRISTIAN VASSALLO lexical elements, in particular the use of the verb θ"ω, lead us to believe that Philodemus (or his source) is here referring to fr. 137 DK of Empedocles (= fr. 122, 3–8 Gallavotti). In this case the Herculanean testimonium would bring up Empedocles’ most general criticism of human sacrifices. This may at first sight seem to be in line with Epicurean criticism of superstition, as shown for instance by the use of Iphigenia’s sacrifice in the poem of Lucretius,53 and, in a certain sense, with the Epicurean philosophy of law in regard to the origin of homicide as a crime, according to a famous testimonium of Hermarchus transmitted by Porphyry’s On Abstinence.54 But in fact even on this point the Epicureans entirely disagreed with Empedocles’ philosophy. The Presocratic founded his condemnation of bloody sacrifices on the law of nature, whereas Epicurus and the Epicureans argued on the basis of a conventional notion of law and justice.55 Nevertheless, if Philodemus really built his text on the framework of Hermarchus’ Against Empedocles in 22 books, there are sufficient grounds: a) to take fr. 14 of P. Herc. 1428 as a reference to (or a paraphrase of) a section of Empedocles’ Purifications; b) to argue that Philodemus followed a doxographical trend which assigned ritual and Opfer verwarf ’). A thorough analysis of Empedocles’ approach to sacrificial violence can be found now in A.G. Wersinger, ‘Empédocle, la Violence sacrificielle et la Grâce’, Revue de Métaphysique et de Morale 75 (2012), pp. 379–402. 53 Lucr., RN I 84–101. 54 Hermarch., fr. 34 Longo Auricchio (= Porph., Abst. I 7–12; 26, 4, pp. 46–52, 61 Bouffartigue-Patillon = fr. 24 Krohn), esp. 9, 3–5. Also interesting is another passage of Porph., Abst. II 20, a testimonium which comes from Theophrastus and is the source of Empedocles’ fr. 128 DK. Cf. infra, n. 70, on the subject of P. Petrie II 49E (= P. Lit. Lond. 159A) and P. Lit. Lond. 159B. 55 On this basic distinction, strictly connected to a good understanding of Epicurean concept of ο%κει)τη,, see Rispoli, ‘Empedocle nelle testimonianze ermarchee’ (cit. n. 43), pp. 257–262. Gallo, ‘Ermarco e la polemica epicurea contro Empedocle’ (cit. 39), pp. 42; 50; idem, ‘Empedocle in Epicuro e negli Epicurei’, [in:] U. Criscuolo (ed.), Mnemosynon [= Pubblicazioni del Dip. di Filologia Classica ‘F. Arnaldi’ dell’Università degli Studi di Napoli ‘Federico II’ 19], Naples, pp. 259–265, at 264, mantains that Porphyry’s text addressed only the -αθαρµο0. In general, on Epicurean philosophy of law, see R. Müller, Die epikureische Gesellschafts-Theorie [= Schriften zur Geschichte und Kultur der Antike 5], 2nd ed., Berlin 1974; V.

PRESOCRATIC PHILOSOPHY IN THE HERCULANEUM PAPYRI religious topics to the !αθαρµο& and considered that poem and the 'υ)ικ, to be different works, although this does not exclude a contamination of demonological and cosmological theories in the latter. The cases of Xenophanes and Empedocles are sufficient to indicate the contribution that an accurate examination of the Herculanean sources could give to the history of Presocratic philosophy and its tradition. New collections of the fragments concerning these two Presocratics have been recently announced, for Xenophanes by Georg Wöhrle (De Gruyter, ‘Traditio Praesocratica’), and for Empedocles by Marwan Rashed (Les Belles Lettres, ‘Collection des Universités de France’). From these two works I think it reasonable to expect a serious consideration of the Herculanean evidence, which has been systematically forgotten or quoted in accordance with the outdated standards of Diels-Kranz even in the most recent editions of the Presocratics.56 Furthermore, I hope that a new approach to the Herculanean sources will be taken by André Laks and Glenn W. Most in their forthcoming four-volume collection of the fragments of the Presocratics for Harvard University Press (‘Loeb Classical Library’). I have not mentioned so far the inestimable contribution of the Herculaneum papyri to the history of ancient Atomism (not only Leucippus and Democritus, but also Anaxarchus, Diotimus, Metrodorus, Nausiphanes) and to the Heraclitean doxography as well.57 As far as Heraclitus is concerned, the collection of the testimonia edited by Serge N. Mouraviev represents a decisive advance in the history of studies of the Heraclitean tradition, but there is still much work to be carried out on 56 Among others, see the recent collections edited by M. L. Gemelli Marciano, Die Vorsokratiker [= Sammlung Tusculum], vol. I–III, Düsseldorf 2007–2010 and J. Mansfeld & O. Primavesi, Die Vorsokratiker, Stuttgart 1983; 2nd ed., 2011. This structural fault is indirectly confirmed by the useful survey of A. Brancacci, ‘Presocratici/Preplatonici. Contributo a un bilancio di cinquant’anni di storiografia filosofica in Italia’, [in:] idem, Studi di storiografia filosofica antica [= Accademia Toscana di Scienze e Lettere ‘La Colombaria’, Studi 243], Florence 2008, pp. 1–18; and by A. A. Long, ‘Presocratics’, Phronesis 58 (2013), pp. 98–106, on scholarship and editorial developments relating to the Presocratics in recent years. Also in this case, cf. infra, Appendix, s.vv. ‘Anaxarchus Abderites’, ‘Democritus Abderites (seu Democrates)’, ‘Diotimus Tyrius’, ‘Heraclitus Ephesius’, ‘Leucippus (atomorum doctrinae conditor)’, ‘Metrodorus Chius’, ‘Nausiphanes Teius’.

CHRISTIAN VASSALLO the ‘Heraclitus of Herculaneum’.58 As regards the Atomists, the situation is much less satisfactory. In this field, in spite of the new perspectives in the history of philosophy opened up by recent research (above all in relation to the problem of the relationship between Epicurus and Aristotle), we must not forget the old thesis of Cyril Bailey, according to which ‘Epicurus’ controversy is with the pre-Socratics, and his debt, unacknowledged and even violently denied, is to Leucippus and Democritus’.59 With respect to this question the Herculaneum papyri play of course a very important role. For this reason, during the International Congress held in Catania in 1979 on Democritus and ancient Atomism (Democrito e l’atomismo antico), Marcello Gigante noted the urgent need for a comprehensive re-edition of the texts of ancient Atomists, from Leucippus to Diogenes of Oenoanda (‘da Leucippo, Democrito e la sua scuola a Epicuro e gli epicurei greci e romani fino a Diogene di Enoanda’).60 The recent collection of the evidence for the early Atomists edited by Walter Leszl has taken into account a good part of the Herculanean texts. But so far this project has been limited to an Italian translation of the testimonia concerning Leucippus and Democritus without a Greek text. For this reason it is impossible to understand to what extent the new textual improvements of Herculaneum papyrology have been really appreciated.61 Besides, this 58 See the second part of the Heraclitea edited by S. N. Mouraviev, Heraclitea, II. Traditio, A. Témoignages et citations, vol. I–IV, Sankt Augustin 1999–2003, specifically devoted to the traditio Heraclitea. On Heraclitus’ presence in the Herculaneum papyri, cf. M. Capasso, ‘Epicureismo e Eraclito. Contributo alla ricostruzione della critica epicurea alla filosofia presocratica’, [in:] L. Rossetti (ed.), Atti del Symposium Heracliteum 1981, Rome 1983, I, pp. 423–457 (= idem, Comunità senza rivolta [cit. n. 31], pp. 59–102); and, for a status quaestionis on this topic, Ch.

Raccolta dei testi che riguardano Leucippo e Democrito [= Accademia Toscana di Scienze e Lettere ‘La Colombaria’, Studi 246], Florence 2009. In the Index locorum of the CD-ROM, apart from some passages of Diogenes of Oenoanda (not updated to take account of the present state of research and of the new fragments discovered every year thanks to the epigraphic and editorial work of J. Hammerstaedt and M. F. Smith), the Epi-

PRESOCRATIC PHILOSOPHY IN THE HERCULANEUM PAPYRI collection, published in 2009, could not take into account the very recent edition of Book 2 of Epicurus’ !ερ$ φ&'εω' (P. Herc. 1149/993 and P. Herc. 1783/1691/1010) by Giuliana Leone, in which new points, relevant to the comparison of the early Atomists and Epicurus, have come to light in relation to the cosmological question of the infinity of the worlds and the epistemological theory of the ε)δω+α.62 To conclude, in the light of what I have discussed about the Presocratic tradition, it seems evident that a comprehensive edition of the Herculanean evidence for the Presocratics is a requirement for the study of the history of ancient philosophy which must not be put off any longer.

PRESOCRATIC PHILOSOPHY IN THE HERCULANEUM PAPYRI APPENDIX TESTIMONIA PRAESOCRATICA IN PAPYRIS REPERTA A COMPLETE LIST OF THE PAPYROLOGICAL EVIDENCE FOR PRESOCRATICS WITH A COMPARATIVE CATALOGUE OF THE HERCULANEAN SOURCES The following catalogue gives a complete list of the evidence for Presocratics discovered so far in the papyri, with one section devoted to the Herculanean sources and another to the Graeco-Egyptian rolls. A more detailed catalogue (Index Praesocraticorum Philosophorum Herculanensis) devoted exclusively to the Herculaneum papyri will appear shortly.63 The list gives the Presocratic philosophers in alphabetical order. As far as the Graeco-Egyptian papyri are concerned, the order follows the sequence and the criteria adopted by the CPF;64 while the Herculanean sources are listed in order of inventory numbers. The papyrological testimonia considered spurious are given in square brackets, while uncertain ones are followed by a question mark. Exceptions apart, only the editions of the Herculaneum papyri listed in the catalogue are taken into account, even if the works they belong to are spread over several rolls. In some cases I was able to make use of fragments belonging to editions still in preparation which I was kindly allowed to consult in advance. All the editions of Herculanean texts for which my name is given are being published in specialist journals. 63 Ch. Vassallo, ‘A catalogue of the evidence for Presocratics in the Herculaneum Papyri’, Archiv für Papyrusforschung 62 (2016), in press, where the Herculanean evidence is divided into fragments (passages directly belonging to works of the Presocratics), witnesses (indirect witnesses concerning their life and thought), names (polemical or doxographical contexts where only the name of a Presocratic is mentioned) and reminiscences (papyrological texts where a Presocratic’s influence on a certain writer or on the source that he paraphrases can be proved). Here I give instead simply a list of the Herculanean and GraecoEgyptian evidence without specifying the nature of the source. 64 As far as the Orphic tradition is concerned, I refer to the Index fontium of A. Bernabé (ed.), Poetae epici Graeci. Testimonia et fragmenta, II.3 [= Bibliotheca scriptorum Graecorum et Romanorum Teubneriana], Berlin 2007, pp. 329–373.

Greek Text with a Short Commentary, Editio maior, Merida, Venezuela 1967, 2nd ed., Sankt Augustin 2001, p. 180 [fr. 36 (b3)], but the papyrological text is considered spurious in CPF I.1**, 57, p. 244, because of the great popularity of the proverb in antiquity, above all in the sceptical tradition: ‘in questo caso infatti il passo citato (LXIII 20–30) è esplicitamente fatto risalire alla tradizione pirroniana, contrariamente al caso di O. Berol. inv. 12319, 23–25 [
57 5T], dove la citazione dello stesso passo eracliteo compare anonimamente in una raccolta di sentenze’. 72 The reference to Heraclitus identified here by H. Diels (BKT II 1905, dubiously accepted in DK 22 B 126b) is considered to be founded ‘su basi di lettura inconsistenti’ by T. Dorandi (CPF I.1**, 57, p. 244). 73 In the opinion of F. Decleva Caizzi (CPF I.1**, 57, p. 244), the name of Heraclitus, used in a pseudoepigraphical letter to Hermodorus, has only a rhetorical function. The attribution to Hippias, proposed for the first time by F. W. Blass and then dubiously accepted by B. P. Grenfell, A. S. Hunt and by Ch. E. Ruelle, is criticized and refuted by A. Brancacci, who refers P. Hibeh 13 to Alcidamas (see supra, n. 2).

See Diels, Kranz, Fragmente der Vorsokratiker (cit. n. 20), I, p. 411, app. r. 19: ‘!ρµ#ζων] vgl. das orphische Bruchstück im Par. Zauberp. V. 1755 Preisendanz (Pap. Gr. Mag. I 128)’. 77 In this case Prodicus is mentioned in relation to Plat., Theag. 127e ff. 78 G. Arrighetti, Satiro. Vita di Euripide [= Studi Classici e Orientali 13], Pisa 1964, p. 117 (fr. 38 Arrighetti, coll. II–III), following H. Gerstinger, ‘Satyros’ '(ο* +,ριπ(δου’, Wiener Studien 38 (1916), pp. 54–71, considers the reference to Prodicus, immediately followed by the explicit reference to Socrates, to be probable. See now S. Schorn, Satyros aus Kallatis. Sammlung der Fragmente mit Kommentar, Basel 2004, pp. 105–106 (fr. 6 Schorn = P. Oxy. 1176, fr. 39, coll. XIII–XIV); 222–223. 79 D. N. Sedley (CPF I.1***, 88, p. 676) maintains that in this case ‘la lacunosità del contesto in cui il nome di Protagora compare non consente di stabilire se si tratta di una testimonianza o di un riferimento al personaggio del dialogo’. 80 In the opinion of F. Maltomini (CPF I.1***, 91, p. 685) the name of Pythagoras is not certainly supplied here, as the context is full of gaps. See H. Diels, W. Kranz, Die Fragmente der Vorsokratiker (cit. n. 20), II, p. 221, r. 18

Maltomini (CPF I.1***, 91, p. 685). 82 The Sophists seem not to be quoted in the Herculaneum papyri as a Presocratic philosophical movement. But as the catalogue shows, there are several Herculanean testimonia for philosophers traditionally considered Sophists. 83 The testimonium is considered only probable by T. Dorandi (CPF I.1***, 97, p. 776). The testimonium is considered only probable by G. Menci (CPF I.1***, 97, p. 776).
