580. About the inhabitants of Jupiter

I have heard from their good spirits about the death of those who live on that planet, namely, that they die in their youth, for the reason advanced earlier [546], that is, so that the population does not increase too much. But they rarely die of sicknesses, as on this earth, except those who have lived an evil and superficial life; instead they die calmly, and as if in sleep, thus entering through sleep into the other life.
