Abstract

This article discusses the terms in which Cicero, Lucretius and Diogenes Laertius sought to make sense of the prólêpsis of Epicurus. To give voice to and to divulge among Latin speakers the doctrine of Epicureanism, Cicero furnished the terms antecipatio, praenotio, and informationem, and Lucretius provided notitia, exemplare, and vestiga. Diogenes Laertius presented the terms katalêpsis, dóxa, énnoia, and hypólêpsin, with which, he says, the Epicureans tried to explain the prólêpsis of Epicurus. The article also discusses the views of some contemporary commentators.Este artigo se ocupa em averiguar os termos com os quais Cícero, Lucrécio e Diógenes Laércio buscaram tornar compreensível a prólêpsis de Epicuro. Cícero forneceu os termos antecipatio, praenotio e informationem; Lucrécio, notitia, exemplare et vestigia, a fim de dar voz e expor entre os latinos a doutrina do epicurismo. Diógenes Laércio indicou os termos katalêpsis, dóxa, énnoia, hypólêpsin, com os quais, segundo ele, os próprios epicuristas tentaram explicitar a prólêpsis de Epicuro. Por fim, o artigo expõe a opinião de alguns comentadores contemporâneos
