Summarize Argument
The author concludes that the claim that Arrian wrote The Discourses and falsely attributed the work to Epictetus is highly unlikely. He supports this by saying that Epictetus’s views were widely known, so if Arrian had tried to pass off his own views as Epictetus’s, the deception would have been quickly exposed.
Notable Assumptions
The author assumes that there was a clear and easily identifiable distinction between the views of Epictetus and Arrian, which would make any attempt to falsely attribute the work apparent. He also assumes that Epictetus’s contemporaries could have exposed the deception publicly and that that exposure would still be known today. Finally, he assumes that there aren’t any other reasons that may have motivated Arrian to falsely attribute The Discourses to Epictetus.
