Words for which I sought help:

otiose -- of no use; pointless or superfluous

puerile -- immature, especially in being silly or trivial; childish

Review:

There is very little reference to Zeno in existing works and no original works of Zeno have been found as of now.  I feel that Lee goes as far as possible with the small scraps he addresses.  I never thought of Zeno as the founder of the dialectic (I thought it was Socrates, but I was clearly wrong) and am glad to know more of him.
