That's not philosophy. It's true the pre socratics were influenced by wisdom literature from the east, but what they made was essentially something new.

aporetic: Introducción a la Filosofía/Introduction to Philosophy - Julián Marías
ethos: Philosophy as a Way of Life - Pierre Hadot
systematic: Introduction to Realistic Philosophy - John Wild

then go with the historical readings, trying to read them in chronological and relevancy order, something like:

Plato
Aristotle
Plotinus
Augustine
Aquinas
Kant (fuck Descartes and Hume)
Hegel
Husserl
Wittgenstein

compplementing these with
1- a good history of philosophy (Frederick Copleston's a good one)
company books
2- critical works (try to stick with the ones written in the philosophia perennis/realist perspective)
3- secondary historical works
ex: reading the (semi-irrelevant) stoics as part of the studies of greek philosophy, Proclus with Plotinus, etc.

ps: you won't be a philosopher only with the science (aka philosophical culture), you need to learn philosophy as an art.

Of the people you listed only Plato, Plotinus, Kant and Wittgenstein are worth reading.
