a. ὅτι θανόντων μὲν ἕως ἐχθρᾷ λόγον φράσαις ἀνάγκᾳ: ἐγκρίνει τὴν παλιγγενεσίαν. λέγει οὖν· εἴ τις οἶδε τὸ μέλλον, ὅτι οἱ μὲν ἐν τῷ ζῆν ἁμαρτάνοντες, ἐν Ἅιδου κολάζονται, οἱ δὲ ἐν Ἅιδου, ἐν τῷ ἡμετέρῳ βίῳ ἐν τῇ τοῦ Διὸς ἀρχῇ· ταύτην γὰρ εἶπε τὸν ὑποκείμενον τῷ οὐρανῷ τόπον· καὶ ἐάν τις ἐν ταῖς τρισὶν ἀναβιώσεσιν αἷς ὑφίσταται ἀναμάρτητος εἰς τρὶς ἑκατέρωθεν μένῃ, τοῦτόν φησιν εἰς τὰς τῶν μακάρων νήσους προπέμπεσθαι. τὸ δὲ περὶ τῆς παλιγγενεσίας ἀρχαιότερόν ἐστι· παραδέδοται γὰρ ἔτι ἀνέκαθεν, ὡς Ὅμηρός φησιν (σ 79)· νῦν μὲν μήτ᾿ εἴης, βουγάιε, μήτε γένοιο. πρῶτος δὲ δοκεῖ τούτῳ τῷ δόγματι χρῆσθαι Πυθαγόρας.
