[132] ἕκαστον οὖν τῶν τριῶν διεῖλε μέσον, τὴν μὲν ψυχὴν εἰς λογικὸν καὶ ἄλογον, τὸν δὲ λόγον εἰς ἀληθές
τε καὶ ψεῦδος, τὴν δὲ αἴσθησιν εἰς καταληπτικὴν φαντασίαν καὶ ἀκατάληπτον· ἅπερ εὐθὺς τμήματα „ἀντιπρόσωπα τίθησιν ἀλλήλοις“, λογικὸν ἄλογον, ἀληθὲς ψεῦδος, καταληπτὸν ἀκατάληπτον, ἀπολιπὼν τὰ πτηνὰ ἀδιαίρετα (Gen. 15, 10)· τὰς γὰρ ἀσωμάτους καὶ θείας ἐπιστήμας εἰς μαχομένας ἐναντιότητας ἀδύνατον τέμνεσθαι.

[132] Each therefore of the three victims he divided in the midst, dividing the soul into the rational and the irrational part, speech into truth and falsehood, and the outward sense into imaginations which can be and which cannot be comprehended; and these divisions he immediately places exactly opposite to one another, that is, the rational part opposite to the irrational, truth to falsehood, what is comprehensible to what is incomprehensible, leaving the birds undivided; for it was impossible to divide the incorporeal and divine sciences into contrarieties at variance with one another.
