I
am composed of the formal and the material; and neither of them will
perish into non-existence, as neither of them came into existence out
of non-existence. Every part of me then will be reduced by change
into some part of the universe, and that again will change into
another part of the universe, and so on for ever. And by consequence
of such a change I too exist, and those who begot me, and so on for
ever in the other direction. For nothing hinders us from saying so,
even if the universe is administered according to definite periods of
revolution.
