Ammonius/Boethius
On Aristotle's 'On Interpretation 9'

[Ammonius] translated by David L. Blank and [Boethius] translated by Norman Kretzmann. With essays [on both works] by Richard Sorabij.

The volume contains (in english translation only) the two most important commentaries on the determinists' sea battle argument as well as on other deterministic arguments. The book includes the earliest full exposition of the Reaper argument for determinism, a discussion of whether changeless knowledge of the passage of time is possible, and the two fullest expositions of the idea that determinism is implied not by truth, but only by definite truth.
