Translation: [Bonds] of the soul [are] the veins and the arteries and the sinews. But when [the soul] [...] is settled down into itself, deeds also become its bonds in place of reason.
Greek Original:*desma\ th=s yuxh=s, ai( fle/bes kai\ ai( a)rthri/ai kai\ ta\ neu=ra. o(/tan de\ kaq' e(auth\n h)remh=|, desma\ gi/nesqai au)th=s pro\ tou= lo/gou kai\ ta\ e)/rga.
Note:
Pythagorean doctrine from
Diogenes Laertius 8.31, here so loosely quoted (as well as abbreviated) as to lose its meaning in the final clause (where reason and deeds
are the new bonds).
