The author sets Heraclitus’ angry contempt versus poets and philosophers against his much more respectful attitude towards some of the Seven Wise, particularly Bias and Thales. The hypothesis is that the connection of these men with Law is what explains Heraclitus’ more positive attitude: in fact, for Heraclitus, the process of knowledge is to be compared with a legal process, with arbiters and witnesses (ἵστορες καὶ μάρτυρες). Then, it is enquired about the meaning of words ἵστωρ and ἱστορες in Heraclitus. Finally, the paper deals with frs. 22 B 101 and 116 D.-K. in order to find out some kind of reference, be it favourable or unfavourable, to the most famous Delphic maxim Γνῶθι σαυτόν.
