Abstract
In describing the Stoic principles, the manuscript tradition of DL 7.134 preserves readings which variously call them σώματα, 'bodies', or ἀσώματα, 'incorporeals'; but the Suida quotes this ...passage with ἀσωμάτους, 'incorporeal'. This paper shows that the Suida has the best reading (and that, in any case, σώματα is least likely to be right). This is not the only, or the clearest, case where the Suida can correct our text: another example considered here concerns DL 7.74.

Anchoring his discussion in Stoicism, Frede begins with Aristotle--who, he argues, had no notion of a free will--and ends with Augustine. Frede shows that Augustine, far from originating the idea (as is often claimed), derived most of his thinking about it from the Stoicism developed by Epictetus.
H. von Arnim did not make a systematic effort to include testimonies on matters of grammatical doctrine in his Stoicorum Veterum Fragmenta. So for this part of Stoic doctrine one still has to rely on ...R. Schmidt’s Stoicorum Grammatica which appeared in 1839. In this monograph Schmidt quotes and discusses many of the important texts. Since then, however, our general knowledge of ancient grammatical thought has grown considerably, and much has also been written on the Stoic contributions to the subject; one may mention here the work of Lersch, Steinthal, Pohlenz, Dahlmann and, in particular, that of Barwick.
