The authenticity of Heraclitus‘ fragment B 44 can be doubted on account of the following reasons: 1) stylistic and syntactic anomalies (problematical articles, a strange looking insertion of ὑπὲρ τοῦ γινομένου); 2) a similarity between B 44 and B 115 (duplication of the same metaphor); 3) an incongruity between the message of B 44 and Heraclitus’ views; 4) anachronistic meaning of the term νόμος which could not refer to a law in Heraclitus’ lifetime; 5) an analogy with trivial gnomic wisdom; 6) an analogy with Heraclitean falsa in a moralistic spirit; 7) a connection of B 44 with B 43 that are not found anywhere else. These objections do not exclude the authenticity of the fragment, but its defenders should neutralize them with some strong arguments.
