Ξύμφωνα δὲ τούτῳ καὶ Φιλόλαος ὁ Πυθαγόρειος ἔφη· λέγει δὲ ὧδε· «Μαρτυρέονται δὲ καὶ οἱ παλαιοὶ θεολόγοι τε καὶ μάντεις, ὡς διά τινας τιμωρίας ἁ ψυχὰ τῷ σώματι ξυνέζευκται καὶ καθάπερ ἐν σάματι τούτῳ τέθαπται.» Ἀλλὰ τῶνδε τῶν λόγων ὁ Πλάτων ἐπιλησθείς, τοὐναντίον ἐν τῷ τρίτῳ τῆς Πολιτείας παραδηλοῖ· ἐπιμελεῖσθαι γὰρ σώματος δεῖν φησι ψυχῆς ἕνεκα ἁρμονίας, δι' οὗ βιοῦν τε ἔστι καὶ ὀρθῶς βιοῦν, καταγγέλλοντας τῆς ἀληθείας τὸ κήρυγμα.
