Meditations, VI, 56

Chapter 56 of Book VI of the Meditations. First the passage as Stoïque shows it, after Long, 1862; then the whole chapter, word for word, in that edition, and the same chapter in French.

The passage in the app

How many who entered the world with me have already left it.

MeditationsVI·56

As on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen: the passage, then its reference, glued to the bottom. The reference never leaves the composition, even in the smallest family.

The whole chapter in Long’s 1862 edition

How many together with whom I came into the world are already gone out of it.

George Long, 1862 · VI, 56
