2. Seneca zinspeelt hier op de stoïsche notie van de 'wereldbrand': om de zoveel tijd wordt de wereld vernietigd door een allesomvattende brand, waarna een nieuwe cyclus begint.

2. Here Seneca alludes to the stoic notion of the 'conflagration': every time after a certain period of time the world is destroyed by an all-consuming fire, after which a new cycle begins.

Alles zal in een grote wereldbrand vergaan en in de oerelementen ontleed worden.

Everything shall perish in a large conflagration and dissolve into the primordial elements.
