 1 Parme|        in fact to the Megarian age of philosophy, and is due
 2 Parme| metaphysical difficulty of the age in which he lived; and the
 3 Parme|   ignorance of the mind of the age. There is an obscure Megarian

 8 Parme|   analytical tendencies of his age, which can divide but not
 9 Parme|  useless or unnecessary in any age of philosophy. We fail to
10 Parme|        seeking to supply in an age when knowledge was a shadow

23 Parme|      that which is of the same age, is neither older nor younger?~
24 Parme|    Then the one is of the same age with all the others, so
25 Parme|        since the difference of age is always the same; the
