28 There are two of the inscriptions at Delphi Cf. Plato, Protagoras, p. 343 B, and Charmides, p. 165 A; Aristotle, Rheoric, ii. 12, 14; Pausanias, x. 24, 1; Plutarch, Moralia, 167 B, 385 D, and 511 B, and De vita et poesi Homeri, 151. which are most indispensable to living. These are: Know thyself and Avoid extremes, for on these two commandments hang all the rest. These two are in harmony and agreement with each other, and the one seems to be made as clear as possible through the other. For in self-knowledge is included the avoidance of extremes, and in the latter is included self-knowledge. Therefore Ion Nauck, Trag. Graec. Frag. p. 743, Ion, No. 55. speaks of the former as follows: Not much to say is Know thyself; to do This, Zeus alone of gods doth understand. And, of the other, Pindar Frag. 216 (Christ). says: The wise have landed with exceeding praise the words Avoid extremes.
