StoneEnglish Translationof the Old Armenian Versionwith Introduction and NotesScholars PressChico, California Introduction "[Of] the personal life of David little is known from Greek sources. From references in his Definitions of Philosophy to Olympiodorus, it is clear that David was a follower of the school of Olympiodorus in Alexandria in the second half of the sixth century of the Christian era. The latter, still alive in 565, had gained fame as a writer of commentaries on three of Plato's dialogues (the Alcibiades, Gorgias, and Phaedo) and on Aristotle's Categories and Meteorologica."[...]Definitions and Divisions of Philosophyby the Thrice-Great and Invincible Philosopher David, in Opposition to the Four Propositions of the Sophist PyrrhoIntroduction"[Those] who have once been fired with love for philosophical discourse, even if they have savoured its sweet delights with but the tip of a finger, are impelled towards them by sane ecstasy and bid farewell to all earthly cares. And then, through knowledge of that which exists, they rapidly turn their desires to this. Now, as we shall show below, knowledge of that which exists is philosophy."
