[105] συνόλως γάρ, ᾗ φησιν ὁ νόμος, „τὰ δέοντα
¹ καὶ τὸν ἱματισμὸν καὶ τὴν ὁμιλίαν“ (Exod. 21, 10), τὰ τρία ταῦτα, ἀφαιρεῖσθαι τὴν ψυχὴν οὐκ ἔδει, ἀλλ’ ἕκαστον αὐτῶν βεβαίως προσνέμειν. τὰ μὲν οὖν δέοντα τὰ νοητά ἐστιν ἀγαθά, ἃ δεῖ καὶ ἃ χρὴ γενέσθαι λόγῳ φύσεως, ὁ δὲ ἱματισμὸς τὰ περὶ τὸν φαινόμενον τοῦ
βίου κόσμον, ἡ δ’ ὁμιλία ἡ καθ’ ἑκάτερον τῶν εἰρημένων εἰδῶν συνέχεια καὶ μελέτη, ἵν’ οἷα τὰ ἀφανῆ νοητὰ τοιαῦτα καὶ τὰ αἰσθητὰ φαίνηται.

[105] For, in short, as the law says, it was not right for the soul to be deprived of "its necessaries, and its garments, and its place of abode," ¹ these three things; but it ought rather to have had each of them allotted to it in a durable manner. Now the necessaries of the soul are those good things which are perceptible only by the intellect, which ought, and indeed are bound by the law of nature, to be attached to it; and the clothing means those things which relate to the exterior and visible ornament of human life; and the place of abode is continued diligence and care respecting each of the species ²³⁴ before mentioned, in order that the objects of the outward senses may appear as the invisible objects of the intellect do also.
