[286] χρῄζει γὰρ ἕκαστον οἰκείων δορυφόρων· δορυφορεῖται δὲ σῶμα μὲν εὐδοξίᾳ καὶ περιουσίᾳ καὶ ἀφθονίᾳ πλούτου, ψυχὴ δὲ τῷ τοῦ σώματος ὁλοκλήρῳ καὶ κατὰ πάντα ὑγιεινῷ,
ὁ δὲ νοῦς ὑπὸ τῶν ἐν ταῖς ἐπιστήμαις θεωρημάτων· ἐπεὶ ὅτι γε εἰρήνης οὐχ ἣν αἱ πόλεις ἄγουσι μέμνηται, σαφές ἐστι τοῖς ἐντυγχάνουσι ταῖς ἱεραῖς γραφαῖς· μεγάλους γὰρ καὶ βαρεῖς πολέμους Ἀβραὰμ ἀνεδέξατο, οὓς καθῃρηκὼς φαίνεται.

[286] For each of these requires its own appropriate body-guards. Now the body is attended in that capacity by glory, and abundance, and a sufficient provision of wealth; and the soul by the wholeness, and soundness, and thoroughly healthy state of the body; and the mind by those speculations which are concerned about the sciences. Since it is plain to all those who are versed in the holy scriptures, that when peace is here mentioned, it is not that peace which cities enjoy. For Abraham bore a part in many terrible wars, out of which he appears to have come triumphantly.
