his knowing it, and he ordered the slave to light the lamp. The latter brought it and said, ‘“‘ Here it is.”’ “Then,” said Carneades, “ read.” He had many other disciples, but the most illustrious of them all was Clitomachus, of whom we have next to speak. There was another Carneades, a frigid elegiac poet. CuapTer 10. CLITOMACHUS (Head of the Academy from 129 B.c.) Clitomachus was a Carthaginian, his real name being Hasdrubal, and he taught philosophy at Carthage in his native tongue. He had reached his fortieth year when he went to Athens and became a pupil of Carneades. And Carneades, recognizing his industry, caused him to be educated and took part in training him. And to such lengths did his diligence go that he composed more than four hundred treatises. He succeeded Carneades in the headship of the school, and by his writings did much to elucidate his opinions. He was eminently well acquainted with the three sects—the Academy, the Peripatetics, and the Stoics. The Academics in general are assailed by Timon in the line : The prolixity of the Academics unseasoned by salt. Having thus reviewed the Academics who derived from Plato, we will now pass on to the Peripatetics, who also derived from Plato. They begin with Aristotle.
