Damascius [writes]: "but Sal[l]ustius led the young men away from philosophy, for one or the other of two causes: either to disagree with their teachers, out of hatred for them plotting against their philosophical occupations, or reflecting on the greatness of the pursuit, to suppose that all men are unworthy of it."1

Ἀπῆγεν· ἐκώλυεν, ἀπέτρεπεν. Δαμάσκιος· ὁ δὲ Σαλούστιος ἀπῆγε τοὺς νέους τῆς φιλοσοφίας, δυοῖν τὰ ἕτερα πεπονθώς, ἢ προσκρούσων τοῖς καθηγουμένοις, ἔχθρᾳ τῇ πρὸς ἐκείνους ἐπιβουλεύων ταῖς φιλοσόφοις διατριβαῖς, ἢ τὸ μέγεθος τοῦ ἐπιτηδεύματος ἐκλογιζόμενος, οἴεσθαι πάντας ἀνθρώπους ἀναξίους εἶναι αὐτοῦ.
