Apuleius Flor. 23, Philo Prov. 2.22 and popular philosophical ideas in the
work of Seneca De Providentia all use the metaphors of a rich man whose wealth
matters little in comparison with his health, and a ship whose costly fittings are
useless in a storm. Similar material is also to found in Flor. 14, 22 and 23. It is
suggested that these themes were drawn from a text which discussed the views
of competing schools on such questions. (DTR)

In the second of the three letters written in 1927 by the great German classicist
Ulrich von Wilamowitz to Isaac Heinemann, he makes some brief observations
on Philo’s Greek style and wonders whether his former pupil Moshe Schwabe,
now teaching at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, would measure up to the
difficult task of translating him. No doubt this relates to the German translation
of Philo, which Heinemann was editing. (DTR)
