natural if the _Hypotyposes_ were written shortly after Galen's
_Sub. Em._, and in the same place. Further, Hippolytus, who wrote in or near Rome very soon after the time of Sextus, apparently used the _Hypotyposes_, which would be more natural if he wrote in the same place. According to Haas, every thing in internal evidence, and outward testimony, points to Rome as having been the city where Sextus occupied his position as the head of the Sceptical School. [1] Haas _Op. cit._ p. 15. [2] _Hyp._ I. 149, 152; III. 211. [3] _Hyp._ I. 146. [4] Galen _de puls._ IV. 11; Bd. VIII. 751. [5] _Hyp_. III. 120. [6] Galen _Sub. Em._ 123 B-126 D. (Basileae, 1542). Coming now to the position of Pappenheim on this subject, we find that he takes very decided ground against the seat of the Sceptical School having been in Rome, even for a short time, in his latest publication regarding it.[1] This opinion is the result of late study on the part of Pappenheim, for in his work on the _Lebensverhältnisse des Sextus Empiricus_ Berlin 1875, he says, "Dass Herodotus in Rom lebte sagt Galen. Vermuthlich auch Sextus." His reasons given in the later article for not connecting the Sceptical School at all with Rome are as follows. |
