CONTENTS.
What the triad is which is conjoined with the good, the wise, and the beautiful, and what auxiliaries to the theory of it, Plato affords us.[1]
Concerning the axioms delivered in the Phædo,[2] respecting an invisible nature. What the divine nature is. What the immortal, and the intelligible[3] are; and what order these possess with reference to each other.
What the uniform and indissoluble are, and how sameness of subsistence [and the unbegotten are] to be assumed in divine natures.
How paternal, and how maternal causes are to be assumed in the Gods.
Concerning divine names, and the rectitude of them as delivered in the Cratylus.
