Plotinus, Enneads 6.3 (DIORISIS sentence 4922)

grc plotinus enneads

Διὰ τί δὲ οὐκ ἀνάλογον, εἰ καὶ μὴ κατὰ ταὐτὰ ἡ διαίρεσις, λέγοιμεν ἂν ἀντὶ μὲν τοῦ ἐκεῖ ὄντος ἐνταῦθα τὴν ὕλην, ἀντὶ δὲ τῆς ἐκεῖ κινήσεως ἐνταῦθα τὸ εἶδος, οἷον ζωήν τινα καὶ τελείωσιν τῆς ὕλης, τῆς δὲ ὕλης τὴν οὐκ ἔκστασιν κατὰ τὴν στάσιν, καὶ τὸ ταὐτὸν καὶ θάτερον οὔσης καὶ ἐνταῦθα ἑτερότητος πολλῆς καὶ ἀνομοιότητος μᾶλλον Ἢ πρῶτον μὲν ἡ ὕλη οὐχ οὕτως ἔχει καὶ λαμβάνει τὸ εἶδος ὡς ζωὴν αὐτῆς οὐδὲ ἐνέργειαν αὐτῆς, ἀλλʼ ἔπεισιν ἀλλαχόθεν οὐκ ὄν τι ἐκείνης.
