[83] _Quest. nat._, cap. 4, “Et meo certo iudicio in hoc sensibili mundo nihil omnino moritur nec minor est hodie quam cum creatus est. Si qua pars ab una coniunctione solvitur, non perit sed ad aliam societatem transit.”

[84] _Didascalicon_ I, 7 (Migne, PL 176).

[85] Plotinus had said, “Nothing that really is can ever perish” (οὐδὲν ἀπολεῖται τῶν ὄντων), as Dean Inge notes, _The Philosophy of Plotinus_, 1918, I, 189.

There is also resemblance between the _Didascalicon_ (II, 13) and _De eodem et diverso_ (p. 27, line 7) in their division of music into mundane, human, and instrumental. For this Boethius is very likely the common source.
