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

Proposition Li.

Project Gutenberg EPUB edition Proclus and Taylor, Thomas
Open passage
Every thing self-subsistent, is essentially exempt from the natures which are measured by time.
Open passage
For if that which is self-subsistent is unbegotten, it will not according to existence be measured by time. For generation is conversant with the nature which is measured by time. Hence nothing self-subsistent has its being in time.
