Political Fragments of Archytas, Charondas, Zaleucus + Hierocles

shown by Proclus in the third book of his Treatise on the Theology and in the fourth book of his Commentary on the Timæus of Plato. But the Demiurgus, as it is demonstrated by the same incomparable man in the fifth book of the former work, subsists at the extremity of the intellectual triad. Between these two triads, another order of Gods exists, which is called intelligible and at the same time intellectual, as it partakes of both extremes. The English reader who has a talent for such speculations will be convinced of this by diligently perusing my translations of the aforementioned works. Notwithstanding that the knowledge of Hierocles was not as consummately accurate on certain most abstruse theological dogmas as that of Iamblichus, Proclus, and Damascius, his notions on ethics are most correct, most admirable, and sublime.
