Chapter XXV

1. This is the reading of one of the Christian Paraphrases. The other versions add the words [Greek: pros allelous] after [Greek: ex hon ou diapherometha], giving the sense "from things in which we do not differ from each other." It is no uncommon thing for all the versions of Epictetus to unite in a manifestly corrupt reading, and though in this case the received text is not an impossible one, I have thought myself justified in following the variant of the Paraphrase.
