[45] τιθέναι οὖν ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ, τῷ παντὶ κόσμῳ, ῥιζωθέντα
εἰκὸς ἦν τὸν μέσον νοῦν, ὁλκοῖς πρὸς τἀναντία κεχρημένον δυνάμεσιν ¹ ἐπὶ τὴν διάκρισίν τε αὐτῶν ἀνακληθέντα, ἵνα πρὸς αἵρεσιν καὶ φυγὴν ὁρμήσας, εἰ μὲν τὰ ἀμείνω δεξιώσαιτο, ἀθανασίας καὶ εὐκλείας ἀπόναιτο, εἰ δ’ αὖ τὰ χείρω, ψεκτὸν θάνατον εὕρηται.
