- 2.15.124Περὶ τοῦ ἐπιστατεῖν
An articular infinitive construction in which the present infinitive ἐπιστατεῖν, preceded by the neuter singular genitive article τοῦ, functions as the object of the preposition περί. The subsequent titles Περὶ τοῦ εἰδέναι and Περὶ τοῦ εὖ ζῆν share the same syntax.
- 2.15.124Τί τὸ καλόν
The only entry in the catalogue that does not adopt the prepositional phrase περί + genitive; it forms an independent interrogative nominal sentence with the interrogative pronoun τί, where the copula ἐστίν is omitted.
