Greek text · Dindorf 4:168

ἐπὶ τούτοις ἐπιγεγραμμένον ψάλτης, καὶ ἄλλο σχολικὸν περὶ ψυχῆς, ἐν ᾧ διαφόρους πεύσεις προτείνας περὶ τοῦ κατὰ τὴν ὑπόθεσιν προβλήματος, τῶν παρʼ Ἕλλησι φιλοσόφων παρατίθεται τὰς δόξας, αἷς καὶ ἀντιλέξειν ὑπισχνεῖται, τήν τε αὐτὸς αὐτοῦ δόξαν ἐν ἑτέρῳ παραθήσεσθαι συγγράμματι.

English · Claude translation

In addition, one entitled The Psalmist, and another, a school treatise On the Soul, in which, putting forward various inquiries concerning the problem of the subject, he sets out the opinions of the Greek philosophers, which he promises to refute, and to set out his own opinion in another work.
