The Hellenistic and early Imperial evidence of χρeία ( chreia ) in the sense of anecdote is summarized with the aim of completeness. The special rhetorical sense of this common Greek word is discussed, and a new explanation of the semantic derivation is offered: it is suggested that the sense of anecdote derives from the earlier sense of dealings rather than utility. The proposal that Metrocles or the Cynics invented the micro-genre of chreiai is strongly criticized. It is to the Socratics more generally we should look for its origins, if the genre must be supposed to have originated among philosophers, which is not certain.

Chreia作为化石的僵化意义
出于趣味性的目的,总结了古希腊语的希腊语和早期帝国证据的奇点。讨论了这个常见希腊词的特殊修辞意义,并提供了语义推导的新解释:建议轶事感源于较早的交易感而不是效用。Metrocles或Cynics发明了Chreiai的微型流派的提议受到了强烈的批评。如果必须确定这种体裁起源于哲学家之中,那么从更广泛的意义上来说,应该是苏格拉底主义者寻找其起源。
