Note 178 — Quest. LXXXVII.
Reading edition
Vid. Plat. in Cratyl, who brings in Socrates as gravely punning on the word σωμα, q. d. σημα, sepulchrum; and supposing that this name, was given to denote that the soul suffers punishment for its faults, by being detained or shut up in prison. And Seneca speaks to the same purpose: corpus hoc, animi pondus, & poena est, permanente illo urgetur, in vinculis est. Vid. Sen. Epist. 65.
