Scip._ i. 12.

[208:1] i. e. if the Firmament or Fixed Sphere moved in the same

soma+, matter, but different from earthly matter. See p. 137.

[209:2] Proclus, _Elem. Theol._ xx, calls it +he noera physis+, _Natura

[211:1] i. e. Astrology, dealing with the 'Celestial Bodies'.

[214:1] [This section is a meagre reminiscence of Plato's discussion in
_Repub._ viii. The interest in politics and government had died out with

[216:1] +kata dynamin+, secundum potentiam quandam; i. e. in accordance
with some indwelling 'virtue' or quality.

mistake.

[218:1] +epitedeiotes.+

[219:1] On the mystic letters see above, p. 142.

[222:1] The text here is imperfect: I have followed Mullach's
correction.

[223:1] +daimones.+
