Re: Samaritan Joshua
Umbrage or Outrage? I cannot tell which. https://149674310.v2.pressablecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/church-ladies.jpg So far I haven't looked at this website, but now I will have to get access to it and publicise what is false and what is true.

Re: Seriously
This is an unserious thread. Why is the alcoholic Benifer person from Cambridge (aka "The Most Handsome Man in the Universe") pictured above?

Ousia: a few examples in Philo Judaeus
I will say that I do not buy into the mystical beliefs projected by romantic moderns, scholars or not, into Philo's work. If you insist on remaining blind, how can I make you see? (The eternal 'Lost Cause.') I am not talking about random use of words such as ousian and the terms for wealth, etc., a...

Re: Hermetic Influence on Philo
I found your 2021 post describing your beliefs about Philo, and the influence of Hermetic literature on him: ... No, that post really doesn't describe my (adopted) thesis that the Hermetica /Hermetic sub-culture influenced Philo; others do. For examples: this , this , this , this , this , especiall...

In DVC, The Passion of Craving = Epithumia
'Craving/Desire' is unspecified by character, in the List of Maladies that the Therapeutae can cure. 2. ἡ δὲ προαίρεσις τῶν φιλοσόφων εὐθὺς ἐμφαίνεται διὰ τῆς προσρήσεως· θεραπευταὶ γὰρ καὶ θεραπευτρίδες ἐτύμως καλοῦνται, ἤτοι παρόσον ἰατρικὴν ἐπαγγέλλονται κρείσσονα τῆς κατὰ πόλεις — ἡ μὲν γὰρ σώμα...

Re: Perspective
Don't open your veins, and spare the hemlock. We live now. The document that survived was surely 'corrupted' in little ways by other hands.

Last Chore done for you, DCH

Of course <aaarrrgghhh!!> This *could* be Philo's own words, but I am aware that Philo's works circulated under various name...
