[Buddha-l] Nous igiis en somati igii

[Piya Tan]

Katherine,

He must have quoted Thales then, since Thales is a pre-Socratic. Or is
Socrates the rightful source.

I'm trying to compare the Greek and Latin sayings with Dh 204 (Health is the
highest gain...) and the I.t.tha Sutta (A 5.43).

Thanks for the information.

Piya Tan
