2 Now, there are some who delight to collect, from reading and hearsay, such accidental happenings as look like works of calculation and forethought. For, if the multitude of elements is unlimited, fortune has in the abundance of her material an ample provider of coincidences and if, on the other hand, there is a limited number of elements from which events are interwoven, the same things must happen many times, being brought to pass by the same agencies.
1 1 It is perhaps not to be wondered at, since fortune is ever changing her course and time is infinite, that the same incidents should occur many times, spontaneously.
