Note 153 — AUXILIARIES TO THE PERCEPTION OF INTELLIGIBLE NATURES.

Thomas Taylor translation

In the original, η μνημη ουκ εστι φαντασιων σωτηρια, αλλα των μελετηθεντων προβαλλεσθαι εκ νεας προβληματα. But for προβληματα, I read προλημματα. This power, by which Porphyry characterizes memory, is of a stable nature. And hence memory is stability of knowledge, in the same manner as immortality is stability of life, and eternity stability of being.
