‘ νεωτέραν οὐ γὰρ ἂν ἄρχεσθαι πρεσβύτερον ὑπὸ
νεωτέρου συνέρξας εἴασεν: ἀλλά πως ἡμεῖς πολὺ
μετέχοντες τοῦ προστυχόντος τε καὶ εἰκῇ ταύτῃ πη
καὶ λέγομεν ὁ δὲ καὶ γενέσει καὶ ἀρετῇ προτέραν
καὶ πρεσβυτέραν τὴν ψυχὴν σώματος, ὡς δεσπότιν
καὶ ἄρξουσαν ἀρξομένου, συνεστήσατο.’ καὶ πάλιν, εἰπὼν ὡς ‘αὐτὴ ἐν ἑαυτῇ στρεφομένη θείαν ἀρχὴν ἤρξατο ἀπαύστου καὶ ἔμφρονος βίου,’
‘τὸ μὲν δὴ
σῶμά’ φησιν ‘ὁρατὸν οὐρανοῦ γέγονεν, αὐτὴ δ᾽
ἀόρατος μὲν λογισμοῦ δὲ μετέχουσα καὶ ἁρμονίας
[p. 165]
