[167] ἀλλὰ μηδὲν αὐτοῦ τῶν ἐπανατάσεων φροντίσαντες ἀποκρινώμεθα, ὅτι „παρὰ τὸ ὄρος πορευσόμεθα“, τουτέστιν ὑψηλαῖς
καὶ μετεώροις ἔθος ἔχοντες ἐνομιλεῖν δυνάμεσι καὶ ὁρικῶς ἕκαστα σκοπεῖν, τὸν παντὸς οὑτινοσοῦν λόγον ἐρευνῶντες, δι’ οὗ τὸ τί ἦν εἶναι γνωρίζεται, καταφρονητικῶς ἔχομεν πάντων ὅσα ἐκτός τε καὶ περὶ σῶμα· ταπεινὰ γὰρ ταῦτά γε καὶ λίαν χαμαίζηλα, σοὶ μὲν φίλα, ἐχθρὰ δὲ ἡμῖν αὐτοῖς, οὗ χάριν οὐδενὸς αὐτῶν προσαψόμεθα.

[167] But let us regard none of his threats, but make answer that we will pass by his mountain; that is to say, we being accustomed to associate with high and sublime powers and to investigate everything according to its true definition, and being used to inquire into the reason of everything whatever, of every kind, by means of which the knowledge is attained of what anything is, hold in utter contempt everything which is external and which affects the body alone; for such things are lowly and grovelling in the ground, dear indeed to you, but hated by us, for which reason we will not have anything to do with any one of them.
