[379] In his Phaedo, pp. 66, 67; Cary, 29-32.
[380] That is, according to its receptivity.
[381] As thought Plato in the Timaeus, p. 29; C xi. 110, Cary, 10.
[382] By the soul that gives it form, see i. 6.2.
[385] This was evidently a rebuke to Amelius, for his faithfulness to Numenius; and it is at this time that Amelius left Plotinos.
[386] This may refer to Numenius's views, see fr. 27 b. 10.
Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this four-volume set; otherwise they were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected.
Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.
Infrequent spelling of "Plotinus" changed to the predominant "Plotinos."
Several opening or closing parentheses and quotation marks are unmatched; Transcriber has not attempted to determine where they belong.
This four-volume set contains fifty-four "Books," each of which contains several Sections. Some of the "Books" group those Sections into sub-Chapters whose headings begin with a letter: "A.", "B.", etc. (see page 387 as an example). In this plain text version of this eBook, the Sections and the sub-Chapters are preceded by two blank lines.
Section headings beginning with letter enumerations, such as A. B. C. were printed larger than normal Section headings.
Page 377: "lation as (form)" perhaps should be "relation as (form)"; unchanged here.
Page 387: "two order of things" perhaps should be "two orders of things".
Page 459: "who is imaging to know" probably should be who is "imagining to know".
Page 459: the opening parenthesis in "which (the Soul herself" has no matching closing parenthesis; it probably belongs after "Soul".
Page 467: incorrect/inconsistent single and double quotation marks in the following line have not been changed:
passion' and suffering, unless the word "suffering'
Page 470: "What in us in the soul's" perhaps should be "What in us is the soul's".
Page 494: in the source, the last line, "who assumes the various poses suggested by the music," was out of place; no suitable place for it was found, so it has been removed for continuity and now appears only in this note.
Page 530: the closing parenthesis after "perceived object" also is the closing parenthesis for the phrase beginning "is ill-founded". There are other instances in this four-volume set in which closing parentheses and quotation marks are shared.
