Abstract

A passage in Eunapius (476–7, pp. 440–2 Loeb) draws an interesting contrast between the attitudes to divination of the two sophists Maximus and Chrysanthius: Maximus, who manipulates the omens until they say what he wants, and Chrysanthius, who scrupulously obeys their apparent meaning. But a passage a little later (500–1, pp. 542–4 Loeb) apparently ascribes to Chrysanthius the opposite attitude. This article suggests a transposition to restore coherence to the text. Even if the transposition is wrong, the contrast drawn in the first passage between two attitudes to divination, one rigorous and literalist, one manipulative, is important.

乌纳皮乌斯对占卜的两种态度
欧纳庇乌斯》(476-7,第 440-2 页,Loeb 版)中的一段话将两个诡辩家马克西穆斯和克里桑提乌斯对占卜的态度进行了有趣的对比:马克西穆斯会操纵预兆,直到预兆说出他想要的东西,而克里桑修斯则严格遵守预兆的表面含义。但稍后的一段话(500-1,第 542-4 页,Loeb)显然将相反的态度归于克里桑修斯。本文建议进行转写,以恢复文本的连贯性。即使换位是错误的,第一段中两种占卜态度的对比也是重要的,一种是严格的字面主义,一种是操纵主义。
