Thesis 24.54

Latin

Ambrosia est analoga termino, et nectar infinito.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 16819

English

Ambrosia is analogous to the limit, and nectar to the infinite.

'termino' rendered 'limit' (the Proclean peras, opposed to the unlimited); 'infinito' as 'the infinite'. The pairing is Farmer's stated source, Theologia Platonica 4 (farmer1998:16870).
