[84] διὰ τοῦτο σαρκὸς μὲν ψυχήν φησι τὸ αἷμα, εἰδὼς ὅτι ἡ σαρκῶν φύσις νοῦ μὲν οὐ μεμοίραται, ζωῆς δὲ καθάπερ καὶ ὅλον ἡμῶν τὸ σῶμα μετέχει, ἀνθρώπου δὲ ψυχὴν πνεῦμα ὀνομάζει, ἄνθρωπον οὐ τὸ σύγκριμα καλῶν, ὡς ἔφην, ἀλλὰ τὸ θεοειδὲς ἐκεῖνο δημιούργημα, ᾧ λογιζόμεθα, οὗ τὰς
ῥίζας εἰς οὐρανὸν ἔτεινε καὶ τῆς ὑστάτης τῶν λεγομένων ἀπλανῶν ἁψῖδος ἐξῆψε.

[84] On this account, Moses represents God as calling the blood the life of the flesh, though he is aware that the nature of the flesh has no participation in intellect, but that it does partake of life, as also does our whole body. And the soul of man he names the spirit, meaning by the term man, not the compound being, as I said before, but that Godlike creation by which we reason, the roots of which he stretched to heaven, and fastened it to the outermost rim of the circle of those bodies which we call the fixed stars.
