Thesis 24.2

Latin

A Saturniis legibus eximuntur dei qui contentiui et perfectiui sunt; a Iouiis legibus dei Saturnii; a fatalibus legibus omnis anima uiuens intellectualiter. Legi autem Adrastiae omnia obediunt.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 15848

English

From Saturnian laws the gods who are containing and perfecting are released; from Jovian laws, the Saturnian gods; from the laws of fate, every soul that lives intellectually. To the law of Adrastia, however, all things are subject.

Sense checked against farmer1998:15902; 'Adrastia' is Proclus's symbol for necessity, per Farmer's note at farmer1998:15934. 'contentiui' rendered 'containing' (Latin contineo), not 'conserving'.
