Greek text · Dindorf 4:331

καὶ πλείους δὲ παρὰ ταύτας εἰσὶν αὐτοῦ παρʼ ἡμῖν ἐπιστολαὶ, καὶ δὴ καὶ πολυεπεῖς λόγοι ἐν ἐπιστολῆς χαρακτῆρι γραφέντες, ὡς οἱ περὶ φύσεως, Τιμοθέῳ τῷ παιδὶ προσπεφωνημένοι, καὶ ὁ περὶ πειρασμῶν, ὃν καὶ αὐτὸν Εὐφράνορι ἀνατέθεικεν.

English · Claude translation

Besides these there are many more letters of his in our possession, and also lengthy works written in the form of letters, such as those On Nature, addressed to his son Timothy, and the one On Temptations, which he also dedicated to Euphranor.
