First line

1. The following is a presentation of the principal doctrines of Plato .

From the rear cover

In Byzantine times, in the Italian Renaissance, and even up to 1800, it was regarded as an ideal introduction to Plato's thought. In fact it far from being this, but it is an excellent source for our understanding of Platonism in the second century AD. It presents a survey of Platonist doctrine, divided into topics of Logic, Physics, and Ethics, and pervaded with Aristotelian and Stoic doctrines, all of which are claimed for Plato.
