Lucret. 2, 1112, 



nam sua cuique locis ex omnihus omnia plagis 

 corpora distribuuntur et ad sua saecla recedunt. 



These e.xamples sufficiently prove that one can draw no inference from 

 ets which woidtl serve to decide the respective claims of ridos and Wvos; 

 besides, the epic use of ets w'ith reference to persons as well as places 

 (II. 7, 312; 15, 402; Od. 14, 126 sq.), which would obtain in Empedo- 

 cles, leaves the question open. The poet means to say that Pausanias, 

 to whom he addresses his poem as Lucretius addressed his to ]\Icm- 

 niius, if he gives heed to the instruction of his master, will find that it 

 will lead him into all truth, since each truth will seek its fellows, each 

 after its own kind; but if he deserts the living truth, it will in turn 

 desert him, each truth, as before, longing to join its kindred. There 

 are two passages in which Lucretius has plainly derived inspiration 

 and suggestion from these words of Empedocles.
