Plotinus, Enneads 5.4 (DIORISIS sentence 3903)

grc plotinus enneads

Ὅ τι δʼ ἂν τῶν ἄλλων εἰς τελείωσιν ἴηι, ὁρῶμεν γεννῶν καὶ οὐκ ἀνεχόμενον ἐφʼ ἑαυτοῦ μένειν, ἀλλʼ ἕτερον ποιοῦν, οὐ μόνον ὅ τι ἂν προαίρεσιν ἔχηι, ἀλλὰ καὶ ὅσα φύει ἄνευ προαιρέσεως, καὶ τὰ ἄψυχα δὲ μεταδιδόντα ἑαυτῶν καθόσον δύναται οἷον τὸ πῦρ θερμαίνει, καὶ ψύχει ἡ χιών, καὶ τὰ φάρμακα δὲ εἰς ἄλλο ἐργάζεται οἷον αὐτά πάντα τὴν ἀρχὴν κατὰ δύναμιν ἀπομιμούμενα εἰς ἀιδιότητά τε καὶ ἀγαθότητα.
