Ancient Greek
p. 151665.14
Οὐ μὴν ἔτι γε τοῖς ἀρχαιοτέροις περὶ τούδε συμφωνοῦσιν οἱ Πλατωνικοὶ καὶ Πυθαγόρειοι, πάσας δὲ αὐτὰς ὑπάγουσιν ὑπὸ τὴν κρίσιν.
65.15
Ὡσαύτως δὴ οὖν καὶ περὶ τῆς δίκης οἱ μὲν παλαιότεροι τὰς ἀχράντους ψυχὰς καὶ τὰς ὁμονοητικῶς συναφθείσας τοῖς θεοῖς ἐντεῦθεν ἤδη τοῖς θεοῖς ἐντιθέασι καὶ ἐκβαινούσας τῶν σωμάτων ἄνευ τῆς δίκης ἀνάγουσιν εἰς τοὺς θεούς·
65.16
Οἱ δὲ Πλατωνικοὶ πάσας μετὰ τὴν δίκην εἰς τὴν οὐσίαν ἀπὸ τῆς γενέσεως ἀπολύουσι.
Stobaeus, Volume I: Book I Chapter 49
p. 151765.14 · A disagreement over exemption
On this point, however, the Platonists and Pythagoreans no longer agree with the more ancient thinkers: they subject all souls to judgment.1821
65.15 · Souls raised without punishment
Similarly, concerning punishment, the older thinkers place undefiled souls, and those joined to the gods in a shared act of understanding, among the gods already here. When these souls leave their bodies, they raise them to the gods without punishment.1822
65.16 · Release after punishment
The Platonists, however, release all souls from coming-to-be into being after punishment.1823
