 the particular soul, as being in the middle of all the kinds of things of this world, and being divided together with them and being multiplied along with them, not only remains but also changes, living through so many partial lives. And not only with regard to its dispositions, but also with regard to its substance it changes somewhat. (Priscian, Metaphrasis 32.15–19 [trans. Huby 1993: 8])
