Many admonitions that the peculiarity of the subcelestial arch is perfective, from what Plato has delivered concerning it, and from the souls that are elevated to it.

What the triadic division is of the perfective order, which Plato has delivered in the subcelestial arch.

What the elevation is of souls separate from bodies to the intelligible and intellectual triads. What the most blessed telete is. What muesis, and epopteia are. What the entire, simple, and unmoved visions are. And what the end is of all this elevation.

How Plato unfolds in the Parmenides, from intelligibles the intelligible and intellectual orders. And what that which is common, and that which is different are, in the theology concerning these.

How the intelligible and intellectual number proceeds from intelligibles. And in what it differs from intelligible multitude.

How divine number adorns all beings. And what the powers in it are which are symbolically delivered from the division of number.
