[231] καλεῖ δὲ Μωυσῆς τὸν μὲν ὑπὲρ ἡμᾶς εἰκόνα θεοῦ, τὸν δὲ καθ’ ἡμᾶς τῆς εἰκόνος ἐκμαγεῖον. „ἐποίησε“ γάρ φησιν „ὁ θεὸς τὸν ἄνθρωπον“ οὐχὶ εἰκόνα θεοῦ, ἀλλὰ „κατ’ εἰκόνα“ (Gen. 1, 27)· ὥστε τὸν καθ’ ἕκαστον ἡμῶν νοῦν, ὃς δὴ
κυρίως καὶ πρὸς ἀλήθειαν ἄνθρωπός ἐστι, τρίτον εἶναι τύπον ἀπὸ τοῦ πεποιηκότος, τὸν δὲ μέσον παράδειγμα μὲν τούτου, ἀπεικόνισμα δὲ ἐκείνου. φύσει δὲ ἄτμητος ὁ ἡμέτερος γέγονε νοῦς.

[231] And Moses calls the one which is above us the image of God, and the one which abides among us the impression of that image, "For," says he, "God made man," not an image, "but after the image." ¹ So that the mind which is in each of us, which is in reality and truth the man, is a third image proceeding from the Creator. But the intermediate one is a model of the one and a copy of the other.
