[139] τῶν οὖν μεταβατικῆς κινήσεως ὀνομάτων
οὐδὲν ἐφαρμόττει τῷ κατὰ τὸ εἶναι θεῷ, τὸ ἄνω, τὸ κάτω, τὸ ἐπὶ δεξιά, τὸ ἐπ’ εὐώνυμα, τὸ πρόσω, τὸ κατόπιν· ἐν οὐδενὶ γὰρ τῶν λεχθέντων ἐπινοεῖται, ὡς οὐδ’ ἂν μετατρεπόμενος ἐναλλάττοι χωρία.

[139] Therefore, no one of the words which implies a motion from place to place is appropriate to that God who exists only in essence; such expressions, I mean, as going upwards or downwards, to the right or to the left, forwards or backwards. For he is not conceived of in any one of the above mentioned ideas, inasmuch as he never turns around or changes his place.
