Description: [L'Année philologique] [Comment] In his Euboicus Dio's ideas on the respectability of manual labor and of the occupations engaged in by the poor differ from those of upper-class Greeks and Romans of the time. His attitude may have been influenced by his experiences in exile, but he also reflects the views of Stoics like Cleanthes and Chrysippus. For purposes of comparison, Cicero's De officiis I, 150 f., is taken to represent the views of Panaetius on the subject.
