Greek Original:Ἡγεμονικόν: ὁ νοῦς. ἢ τὸ κυριώτατον τῆς ψυχῆς, ἐν ᾧ αἱ φαντασίαι καὶ αἱ ὁρμαὶ γίνονται, καὶ ὅθεν ὁ λόγος ἀναπέμπεται: ὅπερ εἶναι ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ.
Notes:
[1] From the
Synagogê (
Lexica Segueriana eta248); also in
Photius,
Lexicon eta28 and in a Cyrillian entry of
Hesychius,
Lexicon eta54.
Both terms are frequently used as synonyms, especially in Patristic literature.
[2] An almost literal quotation from
Diogenes Laertius 7.159 (with slight differences arising from the need to adapt it to the part excerpted from the
Synagogê).
Diogenes is explaining here the thought of the Stoic philosophers, particularly, in this case, of
Sphaerus and
Chrysippus (on whom cf.
chi 568 and
chi 569).
