No writings of Epictetus himself are really known. His discourses
were transcribed and compiled by his pupil Arrian (author of the
Anabasis Alexandri). The main work is The Discourses, four books of
which have been preserved (out of an original eight). Arrian also
compiled a popular digest, entitled the Enchiridion, or Handbook.
In a preface to the Discourses, addressed to Lucius Gellius, Arrian
states that "whatever I heard him say I used to write down, word
for word, as best I could, endeavouring to preserve it as a
memorial, for my own future use, of his way of thinking and the
frankness of his speech."
