Well indeed did Plotinos say that without Porphyry's objections he might have had little to say. [98] Porphyry, Principles of the theory of the Intelligibles, 31.

[113] See v. 3.14. [114] In this book Plotinos harks back to the first book he had written, i. 6, to Plato's Banquet and Cratylos. Porphyry later agreed with some of it. Like St. John, Plotinos returns to God as love, in his old age. His former book had also been a re-statement of earlier thoughts. [115] See iii. 5.6. [116] See i. 6.2, 3. [117] See i. 6.3, 7.
