9. Quint. inst. 3, 4, 9: Anaximenes iudicialem et contionalem generalis partes esse voluit, septem autem species: hortandi, dehortandi, laudandi, vituperandi, accusandi, defendendi, exquirendi, quod 廒徆庰帢庣庥彖 dicit: quarum duae primae deliberativi, duae sequentes demonstrativi, tres ultimae iudicialis generis sunt partes.

Hoc testimonio usus primus P. Victorius rhetoricam ad Alexandrum, vulgo Aristoteli tributam, Anaximenis esse coniecit.

 

XXXVI. Anaximenes

 

1. Dionysius of Halicarnassus, On Isaeus p. 122.3: [Isaeus] observed that Anaximenes of Lampsacus, while he wanted to be accomplished in every form of composition (for he wrote history, left behind treatises on Homer, published on rhetorical theory and also participated in political and forensic debates), he nevertheless became fulfilled in none of these forms, but was weak and unconvincing in all of them.

Dion. Hal. To Ammonius 2.1 p. 259, 3 f. names a writer of teaching treatises and competitor in rhetorical speeches inserted between Isocrates and Alcidamas. The same author On Demosthenes p. 143, 7 f. reports that Anaximenes and others among his contemporaries did not practice anything new or outstanding.

 

2. Pausanias 6.18.(3)6: He had a natural aptitude for rhetoric and for imitating the style of rhetoricians. [因 Moreover, Anaximenes was the first to compose extemporary speeches.

Usener ibid. p. 21 compares the words of the treatise p. 85.20 (38 p. 99.9 H.): they accustomed themselves to making use of all these things on the spot.

 

3. Philodemus, On Rhetoric p. 254.20: But when they make the same claim as Anaximenes, that people did not use to approach orators offering money unless their speaking in public or in court came out perfectly due to their art, they are grossly mistaken.

 

 

4. Ibid. p. 165.22: There remains only the exposition, though which Anaximenes claimed happens the summary [因 so that, according to this author, that orator can persuade best who masters the whole.

 

5. Hypothesis to Isocrates Helena: It is more accurate to say, as does Machaon, that [Isocrates] is writing in rivalry against Anaximenes of Lampsacus. A speech by the latter is known that is a defense of Helena rather than a praise.

6. Philodemus, Rhetoric p. 215.1: If they proclaim that they are able to write praises of gods and heroes and, as far as humans are concerned, to praise some and denigrate others and that they can do either thing to the same people when they so desire, we shall say the following (apart from the fact that they wrote praises, not just for brute animals, but for inanimate objects): None of the gods or heroes needs to be praised by a human, and even all of what hits the mark is less than they are; so what the sophists have done is totally inappropriate. This is why Aristotle, or whoever that was, is said to have said to Anaximenes, or whoever else that was, who had written a praise of either Artemis or Athena and took great pride in it: Dont you know that, should there arise a strife among gods as in the past, Aphrodite will say: Nice praise of yours that gut wrote!

 

7. Stobaeus, Anthology: From the same author [Anaximenes]: All those who do not praise good words or actions out of envy how would these people be useful through actions?

You would expect through <words or> actions. Apparently these words stem from some encomium.

 

8. Ibid.: From Anaximenes: The more the bodily pleasures of cultivated old people vanish, the stronger their desires relating to speech grow again and the more likely [1] [their age] makes it for them to say something of use to others and to have such things said to them by others. So the pleasures coming from eating and drinking and sexual lust can be seen not so much to make one happy in the present moment as to cause pain afterwards; the pleasure relate to the art of speaking and the learning of it both cause joy in the present and make those who learn it happy for the rest of their life.

 

 

 

9. Quintilian 3.4.9: Anaximenes claimed that the judicial and the deliberative were general parts, and the kinds were seven: exhortation, dissuasion, praise, blame, accusation, defense, inquiry, which he calls exetastikon. The first two are parts of the deliberative genre, the following two of the demonstrative, the last three of the judicial.

Based on this testimony, P. Victorius surmised for the first time that Anaximenes was the author of the Rhetoric to Alexander, which was generally attributed to Aristotle.
