Re: Use of αὐτός in Arrian's preface to Epictetus, Discourses
αὐτοῖς ὀνόμασιν = "in the words themselves," i.e., "in his very own words." ταῦτα αὐτὰ = "these very things" not quite the same as τὰ αὐτά but more specific. The usage of αὐτός here is simply the emphatic, and you appear to be overthinking it a bit looking for precise p...
