l 5. This is the inte retation given by Theiler in his translation ofthis passage. 16. Diogenes Laertius, VI, 83. The translation proposed by L. Paquet, "Every
human undertaking is naught but smoke" (Les Cyniques grecs: F gments et temoig nages [Paris: Livre de Poche, 1992], p. 164), certainly does not correspond to what Marcus understood.
