Linus / Linos / Λῖνος

  

The idea is, clearly, that the universal melody needs bad singers who make horrible noises, as well as good ones, like the mythical Linus, for its completion (contrast I. 6 [1] 1, 26-30). But, as Cilento points out (see his note ad loc.), Plotinus   is fond of the image of the ‘ dead stone ’ (cp. VI. 2 [43] 6,6; VI. 5 [23] 11, 5-14) and λίθος (all MSS, and cp. Aeneas of Gaza, Theophrastus, p. 23, Boiss.) may be right. (Armstrong)
