ψυχαὶ μὲν γὰρ ἄσαρκοι καὶ ἀσώματοι ἐν τῷ τοῦ παντὸς θεάτρῳ διημερεύουσαι θεαμάτων καὶ ἀκουσμάτων θείων, ὧν ἄπληστος αὐτὰς εἰσελήλυθεν ἔρως, μηδενὸς κωλυσιεργοῦντος ἀπολαύουσιν. ὅσαι δὲ τὸν σαρκῶν φόρτον ἀχθοφοροῦσι, βαρυνόμεναι καὶ πιεζόμεναι ἄνω μὲν βλέπειν εἰς τὰς οὐρανίους περιόδους ἀδυνατοῦσι, κάτω δὲ ἑλκυσθεῖσαι τὸν αὐχένα βιαίως δίκην τετραπόδων γῇ προσερρίζωνται.
