ἡ δὲ ἀνθρωπίνη ἔχει μέν ⟨τι⟩ καὶ [τὸ] τοῦ θείου, συνῆπται δὲ αὐτῇ καὶ τὰ ἄλογα ⟨μέρη⟩, ἥ τε ἐπιθυμία καὶ ὁ θυμός· καὶ ⟨γὰρ⟩ αὗται [μὲν ἀθάνατοι καθότι καὶ αὗται αἱ] ἐνέργειαι τυνγχάνουσιν ⟨οὖσ⟩αι, ἐνέργειαι δὲ θνητῶν σωμάτων. διὸ τοῦ [[μὲν]] θείου μέρους τῆς ψυχῆς, οὔσης ⟨⟨μὲν⟩⟩ ἐν τῷ θείῳ σώματι, πόρρω τυγχάνουσιν οὖσαι· ἐπειδὰν δὲ εἰσέλθῃ τοῦτο εἰς θνητὸν σῶμα, κἀκεῖνα ἐπιφΎεται, καὶ τῇ παρουσίᾳ αὐτῶν γίνεται [ἀεὶ] ⟨κακὴ ἡ⟩ ψυχή [ἀνθρωπίνη].
