Largely their later interpretations were created with respect to probability (eikotologia) on the basis of comparations with other Pythagorean material, but some authors did not hesitate to interpretate very violently and fabricate their own acousmata (Iamblichus). The extant fragments of collections are very heterogenous and mutually almost imcompatible; that is why it is impossible to believe that they representate the doctrine of the oldest Pythagoreanism as a whole. Presumably the original acousmata did not hide any other sense as their main aim seems to be a regulation of human behaviour in magic-ritual sphere.
