The Six Books of Proclus on the Theology of Plato, Volume 2

Proposition Lxxxii.

Project Gutenberg EPUB edition Proclus and Taylor, Thomas
Open passage
Every thing incorporeal, which is converted to itself, when it is participated by other things, is participated in a separable manner.
Open passage
For if in an inseparable manner, the energy of it would not be separate from its participant, as neither would its essence. If, however, this were the case, it would not be converted to itself. For being converted, it will be separate from its participant, each being different from the other. If, therefore, it is able to be converted to itself, it will be participated in a separable manner, when it is participated by other things.
