grc plotinus enneads

Ἐξελιττόμεναι γὰρ αἱ δυνάμεις καταλείπουσιν ἀεὶ εἰς τὸ ἄνω προίασι δέ τι ἀφιεῖσαι καὶ ἐν τῶι ἀφεῖναι δὲ ἄλλα ἄλλαι διὰ τὸ ἐνδεὲς τοῦ ζώιου τοῦ φανέντος ἐκ τοῦ ἐλλείποντος ἕτερον ἐξευροῦσαι προσθεῖναι οἷον ἐπεὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι τὸ ἱκανὸν εἰς ζωήν, ἀνεφάνη ὄνυξ καὶ τὸ γαμψώνυχον ἢ τὸ καρχαρόδον ἢ κέρατος φύσις ὥστε, ἧι κατῆλθεν ὁ νοῦς, ταύτηι πάλιν αὖ τῶι αὐτάρκει τῆς φύσεως ἀνακύψαι καὶ εὑρεῖν ἐν αὐτῶι τοῦ ἐλλείποντος κειμένην ἴασιν.
