Abstract
Using the imagery of Gregory of Nazianzus as starting point, the author tries to show that the doxographical example in Gregory’s Second Theological Oration ( Or. XXVIII 26, PG 36, 61 C-64A), in combination with several other similar specimina , furnished by late Antiquity, may help resolve the problem raised by Quidam existimant at Seneca, Natur. quaest. III 24, 4. Who is meant here by quidam ? In the author’s opinion: primarily Posidonius. In addition, this paper stresses the general significance and usefulness of late doxographical texts for reconstructing some details of the lost physical Science of the classical period.
