Fabian Ruge published the book: The Stoic Theory of Sign and Proof. The book examines the fragmentary evidence from Sextus Empiricus and sheds light on the two aspects that characterise signs and proofs within Stoic epistemology: the logical relation that holds between a sign and that which it signifies and an additional epistemic relation that is called revelation. You can find the book here.
