Excerpt:
- The first twenty-seven volumes in the catalogue of the works of Aristotle, as given by Diog. Laert., V. 22-27 (cf. Anonym. Menag., 61 seq.) are writings in dialogue. They are: On Justice, On Poets, On Philosophy, Politicus, Gryllus, Nerinthus, Sophist, Menexenus, Eroticus, Symposion, On Riches, Protrepticus, etc. By subsequent writers these works were termed exoteric, and in distinction from them the more strictly scientific ones were termed esoteric.
