A C Graham has suggested that the three shortest ethical triplet chapters, those which do not begin with the standard opening formula “Our Master Mwodz says”, are not chapters, but fragments or summaries of other chapters; specifically, that MZ 17 (now titled “AgainstWar”) is “a fragment from the lost ending of chapter 26” (“Will of Heaven”), and that MZ 14 and 20 are “complete summaries of the Mohist doctrines of universal love and thrift in expenditures without illustrative quotations or answers to objections and almost without close parallelisms with chapters in the same triad.” 1 I have previously argued that these three chapters are early, and for that reason lack some rhetorical features that became standard in later chapters.2 The triplet issue I will explore elsewhere.3 Here, I will try to show that MZ 17 is incompatible with MZ 26, and that MZ 14 and 20 are not literarily or philosophically plausible as summaries of their respective triplets.4
