Abstract

Eric Osborn, the principal author of this chapter, died on 11 May 2007 after a lifetime dedicated to scholarship. The editors are very grateful to David T. Runia for not only contributing a chapter on Philo for this volume but also generously agreeing to review and edit the advanced draft for this chapter. The editors also express their gratitude to the Osborn family for granting permission to publish it. We believe that translations throughout are Osborn’s. [Editors’ note]
