τὴν περὶ τῆς ὕλης ὑπόθεσιν, μηδὲν αὐτῆς πρότερον, ὅτε τὴν ψυχὴν ἐγέννα, δεηθείς, ὡς χωρὶς
ὕλης γενομένην.

[p. 170] ἀπέστησαν: ἀλλὰ δεξάμενοι τὴν τῶν περάτων οὐσίαν περὶ τὰ σώματα λέγεσθαι μεριστὴν καὶ ταῦτα τῷ νοητῷ μίξαντες ἀπεφήναντο τὴν ψυχὴν ἰδέαν εἶναι τοῦ πάντῃ διαστατοῦ κατ᾽ ἀριθμὸν συνεστῶσαν
ἁρμονίαν περιέχοντα τά τε γὰρ μαθηματικὰ τῶν πρώτων νοητῶν μεταξὺ καὶ τῶν αἰσθητῶν τετάχθαι, τῆς τε ψυχῆς; τῶν νοητῶν τὸ ἀίδιον καὶ τῶν αἰσθητῶν
