καὶ ἔσται λοιπὸν μῦθος καὶ μωρολογία, τῶν μὲν κάτω δυναμένων ὑπερβῆναι τοὺς ἐν μέσῳ, τοὺς δὲ ἐν μέσω τιμωρεῖσθαι αἐτίους ὄντας τῶν κάτω καὶ τοὺς κάτω ὑπὲρ τοὺς μέσους πρὸς τὸν ἄνω σᾠζεσθαι καὶ ἐλευθεροῦσθαι, λέγω δὴ τὰς ψυχὰς τῶν ἐν τῇδε τῇ κτίσει. εἴη δ’ ἂν ὁ μὲν ἄνω μὴ δυνηθεὶς ποιῆσαι ἀσθενὴς κρινόμενος, οἱ δὲ ὑπ' αὐτοῦ γενόμενοι <δυνατοί> δυνάμενοι ποιῆσαι ἅ αὐτὸς μὲν οὐκ ἐβούλετο, ἢ ἐβούλετο καὶ οὐκ ἠδύνατο.
