Vetting Status: high
Translation: They say that after the soul's departure out of the body, to this [sc. the soul] was fastened a body refined, more airy and more luminous; [one] which will in all respects have perception of pain.[1] And this nonsense [is] Greek.[2] But they say that
thumos and desire[3] are inseparable from this body.
"In the
Topics Aristotle says that every spirit is corruptible."[4]

Notes:
The first and principal part of this entry comes from (unattributable) patristic commentary on the "spiritual body" concept in
1 Corinthians 15.44.
[1] As Adler notes, Kuster thought that a 'not' should be supplied here.
[2] i.e. pagan.
[3] In
Plato's model of the soul as chariot these two parts represent the emotions of physical response (such as anger; Latin
irae) and of aspiring desire (such as spiritual desire; Latin
amores) respectively. They need to be controlled by "reason" or "mind". The entry reflects knowledge of philosophical issues in classical antiquity, but from an antagonistic perspective.
[4] So Alexander of
Aphrodisias,
Commentaries on Aristotle's Topics 144.16-17 Wallies. But
Aristotle himself (as Adler notes) does not make such a claim in so many words in anything extant, whether in
Topics or elsewhere.
