‘‘ κάτω πάλιν ἐπ᾽
ἄλλην γένεσιν, ὡς ὁρᾷς.’
‘ἀλλ᾽ οὐδὲν 1 ὁρῶ’ τὸν Τίμαρχον εἰπεῖν ‘ἢ πολλοὺς ἀστέρας
περὶ τὸ χάσμα παλλομένους, ἑτέρους δὲ καταδυομένους εἰς αὐτό, τοὺς
δ᾽ ᾄττοντας 2 αὖ κάτωθεν.’
‘αὐτοὺς ἄρα’ φάναι ‘τοὺς δαίμονας ὁρῶν ἀγνοεῖς. ἔχει γὰρ ὧδε: ψυχὴ πᾶσα νοῦ μετέσχεν,
ἄλογος δὲ καὶ ἄνους οὐκ ἔστιν, ἀλλ᾽ ὅσον ἂν αὐτῆς σαρκὶ
μιχθῇ καὶ πάθεσιν, ἀλλοιούμενον τρέπεται καθ᾽ [p. 530]
ἡδονὰς καὶ ἀλγηδόνας εἰς τὸ ἄλογον. μίγνυται δ᾽ οὐ πᾶσα τὸν
αὐτὸν τρόπον: ἀλλ᾽ αἱ μὲν ὅλαι κατέδυσαν εἰς σῶμα, καὶ δι᾽ ὅλων
ἀναταραχθεῖσαι 3 τὸ σύμπαν ’’
Plutarch. Moralia. Gregorius N. Bernardakis. Leipzig. Teubner. 1891. 3.
