[300] It is necessary here to read and supply from the version of Patricius, πορρωτερον του ενος, ο δε νοερος αριθμος εγγυτερω του ενος.
[301] For ει here it is necessary to read η.
[302] From the version of Patricius, it is here necessary to supply the words δει τον νουν μη μετεχοντα.
[303] The words και νους θειος are omitted in the original.
[304] θειος is omitted in the original.
[305] θειαι is omitted in the original.
[306] For των νοερων, it is necessary to read το νοερον.
[307] From the version of Patricius, it is here necessary to supply the words και χωριστος του σωματος.
[308] The words ψυχης ου λογιζομενης are wanting in the original; but from the version of Patricius ought to be added.
[309] Here too, the words οτι ζωης εξωθεν, are wanting in the original.
[310] The original here is defective, but may be restored to the true sense by reading αλλα και ουσιας, ειπερ ζωης δηλον. προ γαρ ψυχης κ.λ. instead of αλλα και ουσιας, ειπερ ζωης. δηλον γαρ ψυχης κ.λ.
[311] Instead of οτι δε και το πρωτως ζωτικον, ουκ εστι φανερον, it is necessary to read οτι δε και το πρωτως γνωστικον ουκ εστι, φανερον.
[312] It is here requisite to supply the words κατ’ ενεργειαν δε του χρονου μετεχουσα.
[313] The words ζωη και γνωσις are wanting in the original. And immediately after, for ου γνωσεται, it is requisite to read ου γαρ γνωσεται.
[314] For ανους here, it is necessary to read ανουσιος.
[315] ουχ is omitted in the original.
[316] For η διακινησις, it is necessary to read ιδια κινησις.
[317] For φυσικως here, it is necessary to read ψυχικως.
[318] There is a chasm here in the original after the word δεχομενων, which may be supplied by reading ει γαρ θεια ηγεμονικην κ. λ.; and γεννητικην must be substituted for γενικην.
[319] For εξῃρηται τοις χρωμενοις αυτῳ ψυχης, it is necessary to read εξηρτηται της χρωμενης αυτῳ ψυχης.
[320] Instead of ωστε και η μερικη ψυχη, και το αιτιον αρα του οχηματος αυτης, it appears to me to be necessary to read ωστε και το αιτιον της μερικης ψυχης, και αρα του οχηματος αυτης.
[321] There is a chasm here in the original, which as it is not supplied in the version of Patricius, I have filled up by conjecture. Hence, I have added the words καθαραν, ανατρεχει εις την αυτης αρχαιαν φυσιν. το γαρ οχημα.
[322] For τας ψυχας here, it is necessary to read των ψυχων.
[323] For εαυτων here, the sense as well as the version of Patricius, require that we should read εαυτης.
[324] That is, not through the medium of dæmoniacal and divine souls.
[325] From the version of Patricius, it is here necessary to supply the words και του ποτε νοουντος.
[326] The barbarous version of Morbeka has insinuare here, but the word employed by Proclus was, I have no doubt, παρεισαγειν adducere.
[327] “Differenter elucidata.” So Morbeka; differenter being doubtless his version of διαφεροντως.
[328] “Summa enim totorum.” This I suppose was in the Greek ολως γαρ.
[329] “Separavit ejus epistasiam, id est superstationem.” So Morbeka.
[330] Propter meliorem vicinitatem ipsi animam, in Morbeka’s translation, should doubtless be, propter vicinitatem hujus animæ ad meliorem naturam.
[331] Accessibus in Morbeka, was I suppose in the original εφοδοις, expositions or discussions.
[332] “Quia est utrumque,” with Morbeka.
[333] “Qualificat,” with Morbeka.
[334] “Et sunt tria hæc differentia ab invicem, faciens, quod fit, actio.” So Morbeka. But actio was doubtless in the original ποιησις.
[335] “Operatio,” with Morbeka; in the original ενεργεια.
[336] ψυχικην, with Morbeka animalem.
[337] ολως; totaliter Morbeka.
[338]aspirantur in Morbeka, should evidently be inspirantur.
[339] In Morbeka opportunitatem.
