(Classical Association of South Africa., 2006) Hilton, John Laurence.
This article examines the links between Apuleius Florida 23, Philo De Providentia 2.22,
and popular philosophical ideas in Seneca’s works. All these writings use the
metaphors of a rich man whose wealth matters little in comparison with his health,
and an expensively fitted ship whose costly features are useless in a storm. Such
material is also to be found in Florida 14, 22, and 23, which suggests that all these
fragments are related and may have come from the same original speech.
