David (commentator)

David (Greek: Δαυΐδ; fl. 6th century) was a Greek scholar and a commentator on Aristotle and Porphyry.

He may have come from Thessaly, but in later times he was confused with an Armenian of the same name (David Anhaght). He was a pupil of Olympiodorus in Alexandria in the late 6th century. His name suggests that he was a Christian.

Three commentaries to Aristotle's works attributed to him have survived: as well as an introduction to philosophy (prolegomena):

  • Definitions and Divisions of Philosophy
  • Commentary on Porphyry's Isagoge
  • Commentary on Aristotle's Categories
  • Commentary on Aristotle's Prior Analytics (in Armenian)

    • All these works will be published, with an English translation, in the series Commentaria in Aristotelem Armeniaca - Davidis Opera (five volumes), edited by Jonathan Barnes andValentina Calzolari.

    Another anonymous commentary on Porphyry's Isagoge which was falsely ascribed to Elias (pseudo-Elias), was also falsely ascribed to David.

    David of Bulgaria

    David (Bulgarian: Давид) (died 976) was a Bulgarian noble, brother of Emperor Samuel and eldest son of komes Nicholas. After the disastrous invasion of Rus' armies and the fall of North-eastern Bulgaria under Byzantine occupation in 971, he and his three younger brothers took the lead of the defence of the country. They executed their power together and each of them governed and defended a separate region. He ruled the southern-most parts of the realm from Prespa and Kastoria and was responsible for the defence the dangerous borders with Thessalonica and Thessaly. In 976 he participated in the major assault against the Byzantine Empire but was killed by vagrant Vlachs between Prespa and Kostur.

    Family tree

    Another theory

    However, there's also another version about David’s origin. David gains the title "comes" during his service in the Byzantine army which recruited many Armenians from the Eastern region of the empire. The 11th-century historian Stepanos Asoghik wrote that Samuel had one brother, and they were Armenians from the district Derjan. This version is supported by the historians Nicholas Adontz, Jordan Ivanov, and Samuil's Inscription where it’s said that Samuel’s brother is David. Also, the historians Yahya and Al Makin clearly distinguish the race of Samuel and David (the Comitopouli) from the one of Moses and Aaron (the royal race):

    Torre De Babel

    by: David Bisbal

    Somos fichas de ajedrez en un juego de poder,
    es necesario aprender a vivir en armonía
    porque mientras unos mueren de hambre
    otros derrochan dinero y tiempo en cosa sin sentido, eso es claro
    esto es un llamado, y agúzate que se acaba el tiempo ¡¡suéltalo!!
    Oye brother...
    Mira bien
    Todo va mal y todo esta al revés
    y tal vez no haya una segunda vez
    para mirar las rosas rojas del Edén
    Mira bien
    que se abre el suelo bajo nuestros pies
    y caerás no importa donde estés
    sobre las ruinas de la Torre de Babel
    De nuestro trato ya no que queda nada
    no te hemos dado lo que tú esperabas
    roto el corazón
    ahora sangra de dolor
    Por timonel un grupo de invidentes
    que se ha encallado en este mar de gente
    nada importa ya
    nada tiene su lugar
    se puede respirar
    tanta desolación
    de lágrimas al viento
    y va una cruz en medio de la procesión
    Mira bien
    Todo va mal y todo esta al revés
    y tal vez no haya una segunda vez
    para mirar las rosas rojas del Edén
    Mira bien
    que se abre el suelo bajo nuestros pies
    y caerás no importa donde estés
    sobre las ruinas de la Torre de Babel
    Es necesario que te hable del tema, están pasando
    problemas, o te salvas o te condenas, algunos en el alcohol
    ahogan las penas, otros en el barrio se destrozan las venas,
    rema, que el barco se te quema, yo veo sangre en la escena,
    yo que tú acepto a Jesucristo y me pongo el emblema, me recojo
    y cambio el sistema
    Ciegos, estúpidos e indiferentes
    masa febril de ricos e indigentes
    pasto de cortar
    que no sabe adonde va
    Somos fichas de un ajedrez siniestro
    para apostar en pleno nuestros cuerpos
    juego de poder
    sembrar fuego por doquier
    Los hombres de razón
    especie en extinción
    ha muerto la consciencia
    y solo queda el eco de la decepción
    Agúzate
    que se te acaba el tiempo
    de abrir los ojos
    antes del abismo
    que da lo mismo
    el sufrimiento
    porque eres prisionero de tu egoísmo
    No des la espalda al llanto de la gente
    que lo que mata es ser indiferente
    no des la vuelta a la tormenta
    porque al final serás quien pague la cuenta
    Quiero cielo transparente
    en el mundo entero
    A veces sufrir, te enseña a vivir, deja de fingir, no esperes
    a morir, en esta selva de cemento hay que resistir, empieza
    a brindar para recibir
    Mira bien, que vas hacer, se vive
    en guerra, hablo por mi tierra no quiero vela caer, mira bien,
    que vas a hacer, se vive en guerra, hablo por mi tierra no
    quiero verla caer
    Mira bien
    Todo va mal y todo esta al revés
    y tal vez no haya una segunda vez
    para mirar las rosas rojas del Edén
    Mira bien
    que se abre el suelo bajo nuestros pies
    y caerás no importa donde estés
    sobre las ruinas de la Torre de Babel
    Oye despierta, y defiende tus valores, bro
    no dejes que tus sentimientos mueran y enfócate en hacer el bien
    ¡¡españa!! se juntan para la historia...
