[243] τόνων, οἳ συμφυέστατος δεσμὸς ἦσαν, διακοπέντων. 50 εἰσηγεῖται ¹ δὲ γνώμην ἀληθεστάτην διδάσκων, ὅτι δικαιοσύνη μὲν καὶ πᾶσα ἀρετὴ ψυχῆς, ἀδικία δὲ καὶ πᾶσα κακία σώματος ἐρῶσι, καὶ ὅτι τὰ τῷ ἑτέρῳ φίλα τῷ ἑτέρῳ πάντως ἐχθρά ἐστι, καθὰ καὶ νῦν· αἰνιττόμενος γὰρ τοὺς ψυχῆς πολεμίους ὄρνεα εἰσήγαγε γλιχόμενα ἐμπλέκεσθαι καὶ ἐμφύεσθαι σώμασι
καὶ σαρκῶν ἐμφορεῖσθαι, ὧν τὰς ἐφόδους καὶ ἐπιδρομὰς ἐπισχεῖν βουληθεὶς ὁ ἀστεῖος λέγεται αὐτοῖς συγκαθίσαι (Gen. 15,11), οἷα πρόεδρός τις ἢ πρόβουλος ὤν.

Moreover, Moses introduces a very true opinion when he teaches us that justice and every virtue loves the soul, but that wickedness and every vice is attached to the body; and that what is friendly to the one is in every case of necessity hostile to the other, as is the case even now. For having figuratively represented the wars of the soul, he then introduces birds as eager to involve themselves with and to cling to the bodies, and to satiate themselves with the flesh, the inroads and attacks of which the virtuous man, desiring to check, is said to sit by them as if he were a sort of curator or overseer of them.
