ΟΓΚΟΙ atomici? Ancora sulle particelle di Asclepiade di Bitinia

Abstract

The essay takes up again the debated problem of the relationship between the ὄγκοι of the medical system of Asclepiades of Bithynia and the atoms, in the light of the bibliography on the subject and through the analysis of a Galenic passage so far remained in shadow. In De simplicium medicamentorum facultatibus V 25, K. XI 783,3 suggests to change the text printed by the editors, ἐξ ὄγκων ἀτόμων, into ἐξ ὄγκων ἀτόμων.
