1. [/Her/.] For there hath been appointed, O [my] son, a very mighty
Daimon turning in the universe’s midst, that sees all things that men do
on the earth.

Just as Foreknowledge 1 <#fn_191> and Necessity have been set o’er the
Order of the gods, in the same way is Justice set o’er men, causing the
same to act on them.

For they rule o’er the order of the things existing as divine, which
have no will, nor any power, to err.

For the Divine cannot be made to wander; from which the incapacity to
err accrues [to it].

p. 59

But Justice is appointed to correct the errors men commit on earth.

2. For, seeing that their race is under sway of death, and made out of
bad matter, [it naturally errs], and failure is the natural thing,
especially to those who are without the power of seeing the Divine. 1
<#fn_192>

’Tis over these that Justice doth have special sway. They’re subject
both to Fate through the activities of birth, 2 <#fn_193> and unto
Justice through the mistakes [they make] in life. 3 <#fn_194>
