Thesis 19.2

Latin

Intellectus agens illuminans tantum credo sit illud apud Themistium quod est matatron in cabala.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 14886

English

In my judgment, the sole illuminating agent intellect found in Themistius is nothing other than what the Kabbalah calls Metatron.

Sense checked against farmer1998:14939; 'matatron' normalized to the standard English spelling 'Metatron'; reworded for distance from Farmer's rendering.
