ARGUMENTUM.
Initio libri Cicero, ut ostendat, nullam causam fuisse Zenoni, cur a veteribus Academitis et Peripateticis desdscens novam disdplinam conderet, exponit, quomodo illi philosophiam constitutam habuerint, e cuius tribus partibus efhicam prlmum differt (c. 2), tantum dicens, locum de re publica et rhetoricam a Zenone neglecta etse, quae illi diligentissime excoluerint (c. 3). Nec in dialecticis veteres a Stoicis vinci; quin artem argumentorum inveniendorum ab his prorsus omissam esse (c. 4). Physica illorum Stoicos fere in maximis rebus retinuisse et minus copiose esse persecutos (c. 5). Summum autem bonum, quod contineat philosophiam, veteres, planissime Polemonem, dixisse esse secundum naturam vivere; quod cum varias haberet interpretationes, illis eam placuisse, ut esset omnibus aut maximis rebus iis, quae secundum naturam essent, fruentem vivere, eumque fuisse Xenocratis et Aristotelis finem (c. 6). Cum enim homo ex animo et corpore constaret, et animi et corporis rationem eos habuisse, sed ita, ut animum infinita quadam laude corpori praeponerent; anind autem bona virtutes esse, quarum semina a natura data essent (c. 7). Itaque Zenonem nihil attulisse novi nisi inania quaedam verborum discrimina (c. 8), quibus in urbam, in forum, in curiam aditus non sit; ibi ipsos Stoicos communi more loqui (c. 9). lam Cicero propius ad ea, quae a Catone dicta erant, accedere conatur, illis, quae cmnmunia Stoicis sunt cum antiquis, quasi concessis utens.
