Di che cosa tratta
Una selezione dalle Diatribe con il Manuale.
Contesto e storia
Il Manuale è il vademecum tascabile che Arriano ricavò dalle Diatribe perché si potesse portare addosso. Lo lesse Marco Aurelio, e lo lessero i primi monaci cristiani, che lo ricopiavano cambiando i nomi degli dèi. Attenzione: una selezione, non le Diatribe complete.
Contesto editoriale, non una fonte citabile: a differenza dei passi dell'opera, questi dati non si possono verificare sul corpus.

You, who have received these powers free and as your own, use them not; you do not even see what you have received, and from whom; some of you being blinded to the giver, and not even acknowledging your benefactor, and others, through meanness of spirit, betaking yourselves to fault-finding and making charges against God. Yet I will show to you that you have powers and means for greatness of soul and manliness; but what powers you have for finding fault making accusations, do you show me. HOW FROM THE FACT THAT WE ARE AKIN TO GOD A MAN MAY PROCEED TO THE CONSEQUENCES.…
