[Footnote 172: The fragments of Panaetius are collected by H.N.

Schmekel, Philosophie der Mittleren Stoa, p. 18 foll. But all can
read the two first books of the de Officiis.]
[Footnote 173: Leo, op. cit. p. 360. Schmekel deals comprehensively with Posidonius' philosophy, as reflected in Varro and Cicero, p. 85 foll.]
