[619e]
a man loved wisdom sanely, and the lot of his choice did
not fall out among the last, we may venture to affirm, from what was
reported thence, that not only will he be happy here but that the path of
his journey thither and the return to this world will not be underground and
rough but smooth and through the heavens. For he said that it was a sight
worth seeing to observe how the several souls selected their lives.
