EXCERPTS FROM STOB^EUS. 121 



/essence ; for the sense is wholly of nought else than of the 

 evil or of the good accruing to (a) the body, or of that 

 again quitting it; but in the eternal Bodies there is 

 neither accruer nor departure; wherefore sense in these 

 is not generated. 



Tat. In every body then is sense sensational (&) ? 



Asclepius. In every, Child ! and energies energize 

 in all. 



Tat. Also in the soulless, Father? 



Asclepius. Also in the soulless, O Child! But there 

 are differences of the senses ; for those of the rational are 

 generate with Reason, but those of the irrational are corporeal 

 only, and those of the soulless are senses indeed, but gene- 

 rated passive according to increase only and according to 

 -diminution. But the passion and Sense are dependent from 

 one head(c), but are brought together (d) into the same, 

 and by the energies. But of the animals with souls there 

 are two other energies, which follow upon the senses and 

 the passions : Grief and Joy ; and apart from these it is 

 impossible for an animal with soul, and especially a rational, 

 to have sense. Wherefore also I say that these are ideas of 

 the passions, ideas ruling rather over the rational animals. 

 The Energies then indeed energize, but the Senses make 

 manifest the energies. But these being corporeal are 

 moved by the irrational parts of the Soul, wherefore also 

 I say that both are evil imbued (e); for both the rejoicing, 

 occasioning the sensation with pleasure, forthwith happens 

 to be cause of many evils to him having experienced it (/), 

 and the grief occasions stronger sorrows and pains ; where- 

 fore both as it seems would be evil imbued. 



Tat. Would the sense of body and of soul be the same, 

 O Father? 



Asclepius. How understandest thou, O Youth! Sense 

 of Soul? 



Tat Is not indeed Soul incorporeal? but the sense may 

 be body, Father! the sense which happens being in body.
