καὶ ἐγένετο μερὶς κυρίου λαὸς αὐτοῦ Ἰσραήλ“ (Deut. 32, 7 — 9) ; ἰδοὺ γὰρ πάλιν μερίδα καὶ κλῆρον εἴρηκε θεοῦ τὸν ὁρατικὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ γνήσιον θεραπευτὴν τρόπον, τοὺς δὲ γῆς παῖδας, οὓς Ἀδὰμ ὠνόμασεν υἱούς, ἐσπάρθαι καὶ ἀνασκεδασθῆναι καὶ ἐπισυναχθῆναι, στῖφος δὲ γενέσθαι ἡγεμόνι χρήσασθαι ὀρθῷ λόγῳ μὴ δυναμένους. τῷ γὰρ ὄντι
ἁρμονίας μὲν καὶ ἑνώσεως αἴτιον ἀρετή, διαλύσεως δὲ καὶ διαρτήσεως ἡ ἐναντία διάθεσις.

[60] For, behold, here again, he uses the expression, "the portion and inheritance of God," meaning that disposition which is capable of seeing him, and which sincerely worships him; and he says that the children of the earth, whom he calls the sons of Adam, were scattered and dispersed, and brought together again, and that a company was formed of them, since they were unable to use right reason as their guide. For, in real truth, virtue is the cause of harmony and unity, and the opposite disposition is the cause of dissolution and disagreement.
