[86] αἱ τοίνυν λεχθεῖσαι προσρήσεις τὰς περὶ τὸ ὂν ἐμφαίνουσι δυνάμεις· ἡ μὲν γὰρ κύριος
καθ’ ἣν ἄρχει, ἡ δὲ θεὸς καθ’ ἣν εὐεργετεῖ· οὗ χάριν καὶ τῇ κατὰ τὸν ἱερώτατον Μωυσῆν κοσμοποιίᾳ πάσῃ τὸ τοῦ θεοῦ ὄνομα ἀναλαμβάνεται· ἥρμοττε γὰρ τὴν δύναμιν, καθ’ ἣν ὁ ποιῶν εἰς γένεσιν ἄγων ἐτίθετο καὶ διεκοσμεῖτο, διὰ ταύτης καὶ [κατα]κληθῆναι.

[86] Therefore the appellations already mentioned reveal the powers existing in the living God; for one title is that of Lord, according to which he governs; and the other is God, according to which he is beneficent. For which reason also, in the account of the creation of the world, according to the most holy Moses, the name of God is ¹ always assumed by him: for it was fitting that the power according to which the Creator, when he was bringing his creatures into the world, arranged and adorned them, should be invoked also by that creation.
