sentences:  Hermann Diels, in his great "Doxographi Graeci" (1879), discovered that the 5th-century theologician Theodoret had full versions of the quotes which were shortened in the abridgements.This means that Theodoret had managed to procure the original book which Pseudo-Plutarch and Stobeaus had shortened.He calls this book ""Aetiou tên peri areskontôn sunagôgên" (Ἀετίου περὶ τῶν Ἀρεσκόντων Συναγωγήν)" and therefore we ascribe the original "Placita" to Aetius.
