Abstract
Abstract This article contains the editio princeps and discussion of a hitherto unknown Greek text, a list of 86 definitions of terms belonging to the disciplines of logic, ethics and physics. This short lexicon is attributed, in the unique manuscript which has preserved it (ms. Ambrosianus Q 74 sup., copied around 1000 AD in Byzantium), to an author named Aquilius, of whom we know nothing. The present discovery is interesting from a double point of view. First, it gives us new evidence regarding Platonism, Aristotelianism and Stoicism at the end of the Hellenistic era and the beginning of the Imperial period. Second, it sheds some light on the riddle of the transmission of ancient doxography, in particular the quaestio vexata of ‘Arius Didymus’.
