This testimony establishes clearly that Atticus posited not three but four cosmological principles: God, Forms, matter and the precosmic soul, defined as a self-moved motion. Thus, it allows not only to see how Atticus takes up and elaborates the analyses that Plutarch had devoted to the precosmic soul in the <i>De Animae Procreatione</i> in Timaeo, but also to grasp with a new sharpness some aspects of the Porphyrian development reported by Proclus (<i>In Tim</i>., I, 391, 4 - 396, 26) concerning Atticus’ theory of principles. Finally, the paper considers the indication of the two groups of Platonic exegetes leading to Porphyry (Severus and Plotinus-Boethos and Longinus) mentioned at the end of the doxography, which bring some light to the doctrinal background of Plotinus’ school.
