⟨⟨ἐπὰν γὰρ ⟨τοῦ⟩ θνητο῀Υ ϲώΜατοϲ ἀπαλλαγῇ, χωρίΖεται τῶν ἀλόγων ἑαυτῆς μερῶν, εἰϲελθοῦσα ⟨δὲ⟩ εἰς τὸ θεῖον σῶμα, ὡς ἀεικίνητος ⟨οὖσα⟩ ἐν αὐτῷ κινεῖται, συμπεριφερομένη τῷ παντί.⟩⟩ ἡ δὲ τῶν ἀλόγων συνέστηκεν ἐκ θυμοῦ τε καὶ ἐπιθυμίας. διόπερ καὶ ἄλογα ἐκλήθη τὰ ζῷα ταῦτα, στερήσει τοῦ [α]λογ⟨ικ⟩οῦ τῆς ψνχῆς. τετάρτην δὲ νόει τὴν τῶν ἀψύχων ⟨ἐνέργειαν⟩, ἥτις ἔξωθεν οὖσα τῶν σωμάτων ἐνεργεῖ κινοῦσα. αὕτη δ᾽ ἂν εἴη ἡ ἐν τῷ θείῳ σώματι κινουμένη ⟨ψυχή⟩, καὶ ὥσπερ κατὰ πάροδον ταῦτα κινοῦσα.—
