Haec per se non obscura: sed difricile iudicare de vfi -aTfixw qui interdum commemoratur. Qnaeritur enim, quae ratio

Pro tribus dis eos habuit Porphyrius (p. 6) et anonymus Taurinensis, plures ex eis fecerunt recentiores. Re vera duo sunt:

I)e origine et aetate oraeulorum.
De origine et aetate oraculorum ut ad iudicium eertum
pervenianius. opus est eieere ea fragmenta, quae alienae originis
esse statuimus. Quorura facile gravissimum id est, quod ab
omni superstitionis genere dehortatur, ab homine iudaizante
fortasse profeetum. Plotini praeeepta deteximus in eo qno mens
cum intelligibilihus coniuneta esse dicitnr — id quod p. 11 exhibui. post Plotinum seriptum esse pro eerto contendi nequit •)
— et in eo quo loquens inducitur anima mundana (p. 28);
Iamblichi in versibus Rheam eelebrantibus (p. 30) ipsis quoque
etiam alia de causa suspeetis, fortasse etiam in nmnerorum cum
mundo intelligibili eonsociatione (p. 15). ! ) His remotis reliquas
lacinias fere eiusdem earminis esse quominus statuamus nil
obstat; quodsi quaeris. quomodo interpolatio facta sit. multa
et ineerta responderi possunt. sed tenendum est ne illud quidem
eonstare, num ante Svrianum hae diversae originis partes uno
eorpore compreheiisae fuerint.

Praecepta igitur e philosophia petita ut prinia contemplemur,
continuo discerni possunt Platonica, Pythagorea, Stoica, quae
tamen uon discreta ad ]ioetastrum pervenerunt sed coniuneta.
Nam eadem fere aliquanto ante contaminata deprehendimus,
velnt in Alexandri Polyhistoris de primi a. Chr. n. saeculi
Pythagoreis narratione,') in Vergilii neeyia.2) in Phiionis systcmate (p. 24), eaque aetate qua oracula condita esse aliis argumentis erhcitur, syueretisnnis ut in religione ita in philosophia
vigebat.
P l a t o n i c a igitur est intelligihilis iileaniiu mundi et huius
secundum eius exemplum formati oppositio. I niversi fabricatio
secundum Timaeum enarrari (p. 26. 27. 37. 47), animarum reeordatio, Amor duplex e Platone Huxisse videntur. Singulos locos
qui imitatione expressi esse videntur attuli p. II 1 . 191. 38. 53*. 63.
P y t h a g o r e a suis ijise Plato admiscuit, etiam plura Acaderaici vetustiores, rursus Pythagorei recentiores Platouica receperunt, vetustiores Orphica: haec igitur quaniqiiam seiungi a noliis
possunt, id aetatis seiuncta noii fuerunt. Huiiis igitur originis est
monas omnia coinplectens et dyas ei opposita (siniiliter Xenocrates: Heinze 35). trinitatis domininm. alterum aniniae iiiilumentum, materia a deo procreata: materiae neqiiitia, animae
in corpore tamquam in carcere inclusae. jiraemia et poenae post
mortem decretae et hinc et ab Orphicis desumptae esse possuiit.

Altero saeculo si conditum est carmen, necesse est illa
aetatc inveniri quae similem habeant naturam. Hic primo loco
afterenda sunt systemata g n o s t i c a , i|uibus tam similia sunt
oracula. ut gnosin ethnicam eis contineri dicas. Nam illis
i|Uo(|ue propositum est, ut duplici via, cognitione et ritibus

pollicentur, qni suis initientiir inysteriis et bis meliorem quandam generis hiiinani partem contineri gloriantur. Ut oraculis
a dis sibi solis datis nituntur Chaldaei, sic gnustici evangeliis
similibusque libris veram contiuentibus traditiouem ceteris ignotain. Utrisijue sublimem tenet sedem summus deus ab iisque
taiitum conspicitur. (]iii initiati sunt et ne ab his quidein sine

Hoc autem omne desiderium salutis animaeque huius mundi
nequitia liberandae studium inde a M. A u r e l i i fere a e t a t e
valere ac vigere videmus (RVville 127 ss. Hamack I 101 ss.)
eaque antiquissimas oraculorum partes neque multo antiquiores
neque multo posteriores esse existimo.1) Nam cum Porphvrius
in Plotini circulo (post a. 262 3) priinum oracula vidisse videatur
(cf. p. 6), aliquanto vetustiora putanda sunt. Accedit quod
haud improbabilis est eorum sententia, qui coniectura potius
quam certis rationibus ducti ab alterutro Iuliano 8 ) haec oracula
conficta esse statuerunt (Lobeck Agl. 102. Thilo II 14). Theurgis
enim oracula enuntiari dicuntur, theurgoruin nomen non usurpatur ante Porphyrium, qui et oracula primus adhibuit et zlTX 'loul.tavoS TO!3 \a>.Saiou commentarios scripsit. ab hoc transiit
ad Platonicos recentiores Dionysiumque Areopagitam. Theurgus
Proelo Damascioque solet esse Tulianus, verbis oi em Mapxou
Yevopxvoi OeoopYoi (Procl. in Crat, 77,1. in remp. 21.26 P.) aut
pater filiusque aut sophistico more alter designatur. Post Platonem oracula edita esse dicit Proclus tli. pl. 240 ex.

Iuliani praecepta cum
