ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

For look to the end of each of the kings who have lived: they died the death common to all; and if this issued in unconsciousness, it would be a windfall for all the unjust. But since perception remains for all who have come into being, and eternal punishment is in store, do not neglect to be persuaded and to believe that these things are true. For the necromancies, and the inspections by means of undefiled children, and the summonings of human souls, and those whom the magicians call dream-senders and assistant spirits, and the things done by those who know these arts—let these persuade you that even after death the souls are in a state of perception; and so let the men who are seized and thrown down by the souls of the dead, whom all call demon-possessed and madmen; and the oracles among you called those of Amphilochus and Dodona and Pytho, and whatever else of the kind there is; and the teachings of the writers, of Empedocles and Pythagoras, of Plato and Socrates; and the pit in Homer, and the descent of Odysseus to inspect these things, and the things said by others who spoke the same. Receive us, then, even on the same terms as these, since we believe in God no less than they—rather, even more—we who expect to receive back again our own bodies, dead and cast into the earth, declaring that nothing is impossible to God.
