Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

To the sacred names of liberty, disinterestedness and obedience to law, succeeded those of Epicurus, Zeno and Arcesilaus.

Arcesilaus himself laid great stress upon this doctrine, which Sextus carefully shows us is utterly inconsistent with Pyrrhonism.

We find in both, it is true, especially in the time of Arcesilaus, the aim of ἐποχή.

Arcesilaus had a peculiar habit while conversing of using the expression, "My opinion is," and "So and so will not agree to this."

The vase with the subject of Arcesilaus brought 1,050 francs.
