140. Julian ([tom. i.] p. 301, edit. Spanheim) expresses a
pious joy that the providence of the gods had extinguished
the impious sects, and for the most part destroyed the books
of the Pyrrhonians and Epicureans, which had been very
numerous, since Epicurus himself composed no less than 300
volumes. See Diogenes Laertius, l. x. c.26.
