On the Republic Passage 3

Eulog. somn. Scip. 401Or. qui rogo impositus revixisset multaque de inferis secreta narrasset haec, quae de animae immortalitate dicerentur caeloque, non somniantium philosophorum esse commenta nec fabulas incredibiles, quas Epicurei derident, sed prudentium coniecturas.

Eulogius, On the Dream of Scipio 401 Or. That the man who had revived after being placed upon the funeral pyre and had related many secrets of the underworld was meant to show that these statements about the immortality of the soul and about heaven were not inventions of dreaming philosophers or incredible tales mocked by the Epicureans, but conjectures of prudent men.

Eulog. somn. Scip. 401Or. celui qui, placé sur le bûcher, serait revenu à la vie et aurait raconté de nombreux secrets des enfers : ces propos sur l'immortalité de l'âme et sur le ciel ne seraient pas les inventions de philosophes rêvant ni les fables incroyables dont se moquent les épicuriens, mais les conjectures d'hommes avisés.
