What initially aroused S.'s interest in Romanus is the mention in this passage of an otherwise unfamiliar Stoic term for the adverb, pandektês, but Romanus' strange Latin and odd arguments intrigued him, and he has produced a thorough study of the whole passage.
He wants to date Romanus fairly late in the third century, but at one point he seems to date Marcius Salutaris (on whose identity the dating of Romanus depends) before 200 CE instead of after 250.
Romanus is a text that could use closer study, and if S.'s book arouses interest, that will be a service.
