What it is about
Volume III of Philo's treatises in C. D. Yonge's English translation.
Context and history
Philo comes down to us as a mass of independent treatises, and the division into volumes belongs to Yonge's nineteenth-century English edition, not to Philo. So the reference that works is the treatise title and the paragraph number, not the volume: that can be checked in any edition. And the same point as in the first volume holds: this Philo reached us because Christians copied him.
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.
