The authenticity of B82 and B83 (both from Plato's
Hippias
Major 289a-b)
is much disputed. Burnet
thought that we could reconstruct one original fragment based on these
two passages: "The wisest man is an ape compared to God, just as
the most beautiful ape is ugly compared to man." This fragment would
then have the same form as B79. But this is speculation. Most
scholars count them as doubtful.
