 Below the One is located the intelligible triad of Limit, the Unlimited, and the One-Being. This arrangement shows the influence of Plato’s Philebus 16C (with the uncoordinated One as the Cause, and the One-Being as the mikton): this is accounted for in Van Riel 2008. Damascius assimilates this sequence to another one attributed to “the Pythagoreans”: Monad-Dyad-Triad, and, ultimately, to the system of principles inferred from the Chaldean Oracles: Father-Power-Intellect. It is likely that the same interpretation was already to be found in Iamblichus, given that both Pythagoras and the Chaldeans rank high in his list of authorities.
