It is not an easy read, he warns, his argument is cumulative and pays close attention to the sources, which he advises readers to have at hand. Most studies of ancient rhetoric focus on the classical period and draw heavily on Plato and Aristotle, and neglect the Hellenistic period because of the difficult nature of the sources: Cicero, Philodemos, Quintilian, Sextus Empiricus, and the prolegomena literature. He covers the background to the debate, the exclusivity of teaching argument, the falsa argument, the benefit argument, the end argument, and the materia argument.
