[79]
22. Again, in Xenophon,1 Cyrus the Elder
utters the following words as he is dying: “Think
not, my dearest sons, that, when I have left you,
I shall cease to be. For while I was with you you
did not see my soul, but you knew that it was in
this body from the deeds that I performed. Continue to believe, therefore, that it exists as before,
even though you see it not. ”
1 Xenophon, Cyropaedia, viii. 7. 17–22.
