§3.3.1Ἱπποκράτης πολλὰς νόσους ἰασάμενος αὐτὸς νοσήσας ἀπέθανεν.
Hippocrates, after curing many diseases, himself fell sick and died.
οἱ Χαλδαῖοι πολλῶν θανάτους προηγόρευσαν, εἶτα καὶ αὐτοὺς τὸ πεπρωμένον κατέλαβεν.
The Chaldaeans foretold the deaths of many, and then fate caught them too.
Ἀλέξανδρος καὶ Πομπήιος καὶ Γάιος Καῖσαρ, ὅλας πόλεις ἄρδην τοσαυτάκις ἀνελόντες καὶ ἐν παρατάξει πολλὰς μυριάδας ἱππέων καὶ πεζῶν κατακόψαντες, καὶ αὐτοί ποτε ἐξῆλθον τοῦ βίου.
Alexander, Pompey, and Gaius Caesar, after so often utterly destroying whole cities and slaughtering many tens of thousands of cavalry and infantry in battle, themselves also at last departed from life.
Ἡράκλειτος περὶ τῆς τοῦ κόσμου ἐκπυρώσεως τοσαῦτα φυσιολογήσας, ὕδατος τὰ ἐντὸς πληρωθείς, βολβίτῳ κατακεχρισμένος ἀπέθανε.
Heraclitus, after speculating so much on the conflagration of the universe, died covered with cow dung, his insides filled with water.
Δημόκριτον δὲ οἱ φθεῖρες, Σωκράτην δὲ ἄλλοι φθεῖρες ἀπέκτειναν.
Democritus was killed by lice, and Socrates by other lice.
τί ταῦτα;
What of this?
ἐνέβης, ἔπλευσας, κατήχθης· ἔκβηθι.
You have embarked, you have made the voyage, you have come to port; step ashore.
εἰ μὲν ἐφ’ ἕτερον βίον, οὐδὲν θεῶν κενὸν οὐδὲ ἐκεῖ· εἰ δὲ ἐν ἀναισθησίᾳ, παύσῃ πόνων καὶ ἡδονῶν ἀνεχόμενος καὶ λατρεύων τοσούτῳ χείρονι τῷ ἀγγείῳ ἤπερ ἐστὶ τὸ ὑπηρετοῦν·
If to another life, there is nothing empty of gods even there; but if to insensibility, you will cease from bearing pains and pleasures, and from serving a vessel which is so much inferior to that which serves it.
τὸ μὲν γὰρ νοῦς καὶ δαίμων, τὸ δὲ γῆ καὶ λύθρος.
For the former is mind and a divine spirit, while the latter is clay and gore.
