This is a reminder that thirty thousand pages of ancient Greek philosophy has made it down to us. It is your duty to read all of it.

Also note that most of what we have of the pre-Socratics is in the form of excerpts quoted in Aristotle's works.

The fact that most of the presocratic texts were still around in sixth century is quite horrific. It means that they were probably lost in the sacking of Constantinople by the latins, and/or lying somewhere in Syrian deserts since that's where Simplicius and Damascius moved. Buried in the sands.
