καὶ ἄλλοι δ' αὖ ἄλλα λεληρήκασιν ἐναντία. Καὶ μέντοι καὶ περὶ τὴν ταύτης διαίρεσιν πλείστη γε τούτοις γεγένηται διαμάχη. Πυθαγόρας μὲν γὰρ καὶ Πλάτων διμερῆ ταύτην εἰρήκασι, καὶ τὸ μὲν αὐτῆς εἶναι λογικόν, τὸ δὲ ἄλογον. Διχῇ δ' αὖ πάλιν τὸ ἄλογον ἔτεμον, καὶ τὸ μὲν αὐτοῦ θυμικὸν εἶναι, τὸ δὲ ἐπιθυμητικόν. Ὁ δὲ Ξενοκράτης, καὶ ταῦτα τρίτος ἀπὸ Πλάτωνος ὤν —Σπευσίππου γὰρ τοῦ Πλάτωνος ἀδελφιδοῦ γεγένηται φοιτητής—τὸ μὲν αἰσθητικὸν εἶναι τῆς ψυχῆς ἔφη, τὸ δὲ λογικόν.
