[8] Quod si ita est, etiam mortalia sint necesse est, secundum animalium formam; nam etsi immortalem constat animam, ipsi hoc soli licebit, non etiam illi cui adnectatur, id est corpori. [9] Nemo autem negabit elementis corpus esse, cum et contingamus ea et contingamur ab eis, certaque cor pora ex illis decidere uideamus. [10] Ergo si animalia deposita ratione animae, qua corporum condicio, mortalia, non utique dei sunt.
