to conclude that the Demetrius mentioned here is not the statesman and Aristo telian philosopher Demetrius of Phaleron, but the Macedonian conqueror De metrius Poliorcetes, the "taker ofcities. " The reading "ofPhaleron," attested by manuscripts A and T, is a gloss which has been incorporated into the text, as had been suspected by H. Schenkl and G. Cortassa.
