p. 357 note 676. For an English translation of Censorinus'
De Die Natale
(“The Natal Day”), and specifically Chapter XIII, on the “Music of the Spheres” quoted by Stanley, see Maude,
Die Die Natale by Censorinus
, pp. 10-11. For the Latin text, Cf. Hultsch,

p. 358 note 727. “Perhaps
. See St. Basil of Caesarea,
Homilia ad Psalm. XIX.”

The quotation is from from Basil's
,
To young men on how they might profit from Greek Literature.
(“Greek Literature” is alternately translated, “Pagan Literature” or “Profane Works”) In Migne's
Patrologiæ Cursus Completus, Series Græca. Vol. 31
this work is listed as one of the Sermons, and falls between Homily 21 and 23. The 24th Homily is
Contra Sabellianos, et Arium, et Anomæos.
The entire quote, with a better restoration, reads:

“And it will be remembered of Pythagoras, that calling one of his familiars from the gymnastics and eating, which were fattening him very much, he said, ‘Will you not cease making your imprisonment harder for yourself?” (Jacks,
St. Basil and Greek Literature
, p. 45) These words of Pythagoras were assigned by Stobaeus to Plato (Serm. 77)

For the Greek text see Migne,
Patrologiæ Cursus Completus, Series Græca. Vol. 31
, pp. 583-584, or for Greek text with another translation, Cf. Defarrari,
Saint Basil: The Letters & Address To Young Men On Reading Greek Literature
, Vol. 4, pp. 422-423.

The final portion of the note refers to St. Basil of Caesarea's,
Homilia ad Psalm. XXIX
, which contains the following condemnation of gluttony:

“On the other hand, what is uglier or more disgusting than a soul given over to base passions? Look at the hot-headed person: he is like a wild beast.
Consider the slave of lust or gluttony: who can bear the sight of him?” (PG 29, 316)

p. 358 note 727. “Reading
according to Stobaeus,
Florilegium
99, who cites this fragment but of Aristoxenus; perhaps it belonged to his Book,
De Vitae Pythagorae.”

See above,

, note to
page 99
. By
, Stanley means
, “He said it,” referring to Pythagoras, since Stobaeus credits the source as Aristoxenus, but relates it as a quotation from Pythagoras himself.

p. 360 note 787. Laertius,
De Vitis Philosophorum
, Liber I, Life of Pittacus, Chap. 8.

The “Epigram of Callimachus upon Pittacus” is in full, as follows:

'Hyrradius' prudent son, old Pittacus
The pride of Mitylene, once was asked
By an Atarnean stranger; “Tell me, sage,
I have two marriages proposed to me;
One maid my equal is in birth and riches;
The other's far above me; which is best?
Advise me now which shall I take to wife?”
Thus spoke the stranger; but the aged prince,
Raising his old man's staff before his face,
Said, “These will tell you all you want to know;”
And pointed to some boys, who with quick lashes
Were driving whipping tops along the street.
“Follow their steps,” said he; so he went near them
And heard them say, “Let each now mind his own.”—
So when the stranger heard the boys speak thus,
He pondered on their words, and laid aside
Ambitious thoughts of an unequal marriage.
As then he took to shame the poorer bride,
So too do you, O reader, mind thy own.’

[“intelligence”] and
[“passion”] are in other living creatures,
[“reason”], only in man.
