Proclus
Neoplatonism -- Early works to 1800; Plato -- Early works to 1800; Theology -- Early works to 1800
What the three deities of the virtues, viz. science, temperance,
and justice, are in the supercelestial place; what order they
have with respect to each other; and what perfection each of them
imparts to the Gods.
CHAPTER XV.
What the plain of Truth, and what the meadow are. What the unical
form of intelligible nutriment is. What the twofold nutriment of
the Gods is which is distributed from this intelligible food.
CHAPTER XVI.
Many admonitions that the supercelestial place is triadic. And
what the signs are of the three hypostases in it.
CHAPTER XVII.
Who Adrastia is. What the sacred law of Adrastia is. That she
ranks in the supercelestial place. And on what account she does so.
CHAPTER XVIII.
A summary account of what is said about the supercelestial place,
unfolding the peculiarities of it.
CHAPTER XIX.
Demonstrations that the connectedly-containing order is in the
intelligible and intellectual Gods. And that it is necessary there
should be three connective causes of wholes.
CHAPTER XX.
That according to Plato the celestial circulation is the same with
the connective order.
CHAPTER XXI.
How we may obtain auxiliaries from what is said by Plato of the
triadic division in the connective deity. And why he especially

What the theology in the Cratylus is concerning Heaven. And how it
is possible to collect from it by a reasoning process the middle
of the intelligible and intellectual Gods.
CHAPTER XXIII.
That the most divinely-inspired of the interpreters have defined
the subcelestial arch to be a certain peculiar order. And that our
preceptor has unfolded it in the most perfect manner.
CHAPTER XXIV.
Many admonitions that the peculiarity of the subcelestial arch is
perfective, from what Plato has delivered concerning it, and from
the souls that are elevated to it.
CHAPTER XXV.
What the triadic division is of the perfective order, which Plato
has delivered in the subcelestial arch.
CHAPTER XXVI.
What the elevation is of souls separate from bodies to the
intelligible and intellectual triads. What the most blessed
_telete_ is. What _muesis_, and _epopteia_ are. What the entire,
simple, and unmoved visions are. And what the end is of all this
elevation.
CHAPTER XXVII.
