[345]. Reading ὅκωσπερ πῦρ for ὅκωσπερ with Diels.
[346]. Il. xviii. 107. I add the words οἰχήσεσθαι γὰρ πάντα from Simpl. in Cat. (88 b 30 schol. Br.). They seem to me at least to represent something that was in the original.
[347]. I cannot think it likely that Herakleitos said both παλίντονος and παλίντροπος ἁρμονίη, and I prefer Plutarch’s παλίντονος (R. P. 34 b) to the παλίντροπος of Hippolytos.

[348]. This, I now think, is the medical rule αἱ ἰατρεῖαι διὰ τῶν ἐναντίων, e.g. βοηθεῖν τῷ θερμῷ ἐπὶ τὸ ψυχρόν (Stewart on Arist. Eth. 1104 b 16).
[349]. Fr. 51a was recovered by Bywater from Albertus Magnus. See Journ. Phil. ix. p. 230.
[350]. On fr. 55 see Diels in Berl. Sitzb. 1901, p. 188.
[351]. I now read ἐπαιτέονται with Bernays and Diels.
[352]. On fr. 59 see Diels in Berl. Sitzb. 1901, p. 188. The reading συνάψιες seems to be well attested and gives an excellent sense. It is not, however, correct to say that the optative could not be used in an imperative sense.
[353]. By “these things,” he probably meant all kinds of injustice.
[354]. Diels supposes that fr. 64 went on ὁκόσα δὲ τεθνηκότες ζωή. “Life, Sleep, Death is the threefold ladder in psychology, as in physics Fire, Water, Earth.”
