grc plotinus enneads

Εἰ δέ τις θεῖτο καὶ τὰ ἔξω ψυχῆς κακὰ εἶναι, πῶς ἐπʼ ἐκείνην τὴν φύσιν ἀνάξει, οἷον νόσον, πενίαν Ἢ νόσον μὲν ἔλλειψιν καὶ ὑπερβολὴν σωμάτων ἐνύλων τάξιν καὶ μέτρον οὐκ ἀνεχομένων, αἶσχος δὲ ὕλην οὐ κρατηθεῖσαν εἴδει, πενίαν δὲ ἔνδειαν καὶ στέρησιν ὧν ἐν χρείαι ἐσμὲν διὰ τὴν ὕλην ἧι συνεζεύγμεθα φύσιν ἔχουσαν χρησμοσύνην εἶναι.
