Till here the oracle had limited itself to indicating what Plotinos had accomplished while enclosed in the vesture of the body. It then proceeds to say that he arrived at the assembly of the divinities where dwell friendship, delightful desire, joy, and love communing with the divinity, where the sons of God, Minos, Rhadamanthus, and Aeacus are established as the judges of souls. Plotinos joined them, not to be judged, but to enjoy their intimacy, as did the higher divinities. There indeed dwell Plato, Pythagoras, and the other sages who formed the choir of immortal love. Reunited with their families, the blessed angels spend their life "in continued festivals and joys," enjoying the perpetual beatitude granted them by divine goodness. XXIV. CONTENTS OF THE VARIOUS ENNEADS. This is what I have to relate of the life of Plotinos. He had, however, asked me to arrange and revise his works. I promised both him and his friends to work on them. I did not judge it wise to arrange them in confusion chronologically. So I imitated Apollodorus of Athens, and Andronicus the Peripatetician, the former collecting in ten volumes the comedies of Epicharmus, and the latter dividing into treatises the works of Aristotle and Theophrastus, gathering together the writings that referred to the same subject. Likewise, I grouped the fifty-four books of Plotinos into six groups of nine (Enneads), in honor of the perfect numbers six and nine. Into each Ennead I have gathered the books that treat of the same matter, in each case prefixing the most important ones. The First Ennead contains the writings that treat of Morals. They are: 1. What is an Animal? What is a Man? 53. 2. Of the Virtues, 19. 3. Of Dialectics, 20. 4. Of Happiness, 46. 5. Does Happiness (consist in Duration)? 36. 6. Of Beauty, 1. 7. Of the First Good, and of the Other Goods, 54. 8. Of the Origin of Evils, 51. 9. Of (Reasonable) Suicide, 16. Such are the topics considered in the First Ennead; which thus contains what relates to morals. In the Second Ennead are grouped the writings that treat of Physics, of the World, and of all that it contains. They are:
