L'autore del 'Perì toû kouphízein hyperephanías' (PHerc. 1008). Un problema riaperto

In this contribution the Author faces the most debated question of the identity of the mysterious Aristo whom Philodemus in 'On Arrogance' (PHerc. 1008) credits with the writing 'On Relieving Someone of Arrogance' uninterruptedly quoted at cols. 10-24, challenging a long-established communis opinio and reopening a problem that had too hurriedly been closed. Moving from a contribution by Anna Maria Ioppolo appeared in the Nineties, the Author provides three series of grounds for arguing that this author is the Stoic philosopher Aristo of Chios rather than the Peripatetic from Ceos, as had generally been claimed.
