3. The following passages in the epistle of Porphyry, are from Sextus: Ο δε αξιος ανθρωπος θεου, θεος αν ειη, (p. 30) _i.e._ “The man who is worthy of God, will be himself a God.” And Sextus says, “Dignus Deo homo, deus est et in hominibus.” (p. 654.) Porphyry says, Και τιμησεις μεν αριστα τον θεον, οταν τῳ θεῳ την σαυτης διανοιαν ομοιωσεις, (p. 30,) _i.e._ “And you will honour God in the best manner, when you assimilate your reasoning power to God.” Thus also Sextus, “Optime honorat Deum ille, qui mentem suam, quantum fieri potest, similem Deo facit,” (p. 655.) Again, Porphyry says, Θεος δε ανθρωπον βεβαιοι πρασσοντα καλα· κακων δε πραξεων κακος δαιμων ηγεμων, (p. 31): _i.e._ “God corroborates man when he performs beautiful deeds; but an evil dæmon is the leader of bad actions.” And Sextus says, “Deus bonos actus hominum confirmat. Malorum actuum, malus dæmon dux est.” (p. 653). Porphyry adds, Ψυχη δε σοφου αρμοζεται προς θεον, αει θεον ορᾳ, συνεστιν αει θεῳ, (p. 31,) _i.e._ “The soul of the wise man is adapted to God; it always beholds God, and is always present with God.” Thus, too, Sextus, “Sapientis anima audit Deum, sapientis anima aptatur à Deo, sapientis anima semper est cum Deo,” (p. 655). There is, however, some difference between the original and the Latin version, which is most probably owing to the fraud of Ruffinus. And in the last place, Porphyry says, Αλλα κρηπις ευσεβειας σοι νομιζεσθω η φιλανθρωπια, (p. 58,) _i.e._ “Philanthropy should be considered by you as the foundation of piety.” And Sextus says, “Fundamentum et initium est cultûs Dei, amare Dei homines.” (p. 654). Ruffinus, however, in this version, fraudulently translates φιλανθρωπια, _amare Dei homines_, in order that this sentence, as well as the others, might appear to be written by Sixtus the bishop!
