27There are three relations [between thee and other things]: the one to the body[45] which surrounds thee; the second to the divine cause from which all things come to all; and the third to those who live with thee.

Notes

  • [45] The text has αἴτιον, which in Antoninus means "form," "formal." Accordingly Schulze recommends either Valkenaer's emendation ἀγγεῖον, "body," or Corae's σωμάτιον. Compare xii. 13, x. 38.
