[17] Plato says, _Synoptikis a dialektikos_; the true philosopher can embrace the whole of his subject; at the same time, _temnei kai arthpa_; he carves it according to the joints, not according to his notions where the joints should be (_Phaedr._) But the Romans only understood Plato's popular side.

[33] Muller notices with justice the mistake of Cicero in putting down Varro as a disciple of Antiochus, whereas the frequent philosophical remarks scattered throughout the _De Lingua Latina_ point to the conclusion that at this time, Varro had become attached to the doctrines of stoicism. It is evident that there was no real intimacy between him and Cicero. See ad Att. xiii. 12, 19; Fam. ix. 8.
