• The Epinomis is a discussion of the content of sofia resembling the second part of the protreptic in Plato's Euthydemus and the plan laid down in the first book of Aristotle's Metaphysics. With the help of the polemic against Isocrates contained in the Protrepticus of Aristotle and Metaphysics A and its reflection in the Epinomis it is shown that the Protrepticus and probably the peri filosofias of Aristotle influenced the Epinomis in its formulation and treatment of the problem discussed. The result is an elucidation of heretofore obscure passages in the Epinomis and new evidence for its unauthenticity.
