The Albinus, Epitome is erroneously ascribed in the early editions to Alcinous (see R.E. Witt, Albinus and the history of middle Platonism, Cambridge, 1937). De mundo is the Latin reworking by Apuleius of the Pseudo- Aristotelian tract. The translation of Asclepius is probably not by Apuleius (CIBN).
