Note 68 — ON ABSTINENCE FROM ANIMAL FOOD. BOOK THE THIRD.

Thomas Taylor translation

This was the opinion of the Stoics; but is most erroneous. For the supreme divinity, being superessential, transcends even intellect itself, and much more reason, which is an evolved perception of things; and this is also the case with every other deity, according to the Platonic theology, when considered according to his hyparxis, or summit. See my translation of Proclus on the Theology of Plato.
