Hello,
Looking for source of Greek in this line:
https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=jnZE_zao8_EC&hl=en&hl=en&pg=GBS.PA249
Gassendi mentions Empiricum Xeniadem Corinthium which is unfamiliar to me:
καὶ ἐϰ τοῦμή ὄντος πᾶν τὶ γινόμριον γίνεαξ, καί ἐις τὸ μὴὄν πᾶν τὸ Φθειρόμρυον Φθειρέαξ,
Appreciate any clarity.
Best,
David
Thanks,
Is there another resource (have no access to Loeb) where Sextus Empiricus’ Report on Xeniades’ Theses (D1) is in Greek. Scaife didn’t have it. Want to check the correctness of the ligatures in the fragment. If you have it in Loeb, maybe snippet can be cut and pasted.
All the Best,
David

Ξενιάδης δὲ ὁ Κορίνθιος, οὗ καὶ Δημόκριτος μέμνηται, πάντ’ εἰπὼν ψευδῆ καὶ πᾶσαν φαντασίαν καὶ δόξαν ψεύδεσθαι καὶ ἐκ τοῦ μὴ ὄντος πᾶν τὸ γινόμενον γίνεσθαι καὶ εἰς τὸ μὴ ὂν πᾶν τὸ φθειρόμενον φθείρεσθαι [. . . = R1]. τὸ δ᾽ ὅτι πάντα ἐστὶ ψευδῆ καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἀκατάληπτα, δείκνυται ἐκ τῆς τῶν αἰσθήσεων διαβολῆς· εἰ γὰρ τὸ ἐπαναβεβηκὸς κριτήριον πάντων τῶν πραγμάτων ἐστὶ ψευδές, ἐξ ἀνάγκης καὶ πάντα ἐστὶ ψευδῆ. τὸ δέ γε ἐπαναβεβηκὸς κριτήριον πάντων τῶν πραγμάτων εἰσὶν αἱ αἰσθήσεις, καὶ δείκνυνται ψευδεῖς· πάντα ἄρα τὰ πράγματά ἐστι ψευδῆ.
(D1 (> 81., 68 Β163) Sextus Empiricus, Against the Logicians
Xeniades of Corinth, whom Democritus mentions [cf. ATOM. P25], and who asserted that all things are false, that every representation and opinion is false, that everything that comes to be comes to be out of what is not, and that everything that perishes perishes into what is not [. . .]. And it is demonstrated on the basis of slandering the senses that all things are false and for this reason cannot be known: for if the highest criterion of all things is false, then of necessity all things too are false. Now the highest criterion of all things are the perceptions, and it is demonstrated that they are false; therefore all things are false.)

The quote appears in Sextus Empiricus “Against the Logicians”.
Hope its helpful.
All - very helpful, thanks so much.
