[575] See for this lecture Simplikios (on Aristot. Physics, p. 202 B, 36), and Aristoxenos, Harmon, beg. of Bk. ii. On one occasion, at least, it was delivered in the Peiraieus (Themist. Orat. 21. 245).
[576] The popular attitude may be seen in Amphis’ Amphrikates (Diog. Laertius iii. 25): “I no more know what good you’ll get than I know what Plato’s Good is.”
[577] Plato seems also to have recited his dialogues in public. Favonius asserted that Aristotle alone of the audience stayed to the end when Plato thus delivered the Phaidon (Diog. Laertius iii. 25).
