[134] μεγάλης καὶ ὑπερφυοῦς ψυχῆς τὸ αὔχημα, γένεσιν ὑπερκύπτειν καὶ τοὺς ὅρους αὐτῆς ὑπερβάλλειν καὶ μόνου τοῦ ἀγενήτου περιέχεσθαι κατὰ τὰς ἱερὰς ὑφηγήσεις, ἐν αἷς διείρηται „ἔχεσθαι αὐτοῦ“ (Deut. 30,20). τοιγάρτοι τοῖς ἐχομένοις καὶ ἀδιαστάτως θεραπεύουσιν ἀντιδίδωσι κλῆρον αὑτόν. ἐγγυᾶται δέ μου
τὴν ὑπόσχεσιν λόγιον, ἐν ᾧ λέγεται· "κύριος αὐτὸς κλῆρος αὐτοῦ“ ¹ (Deut. 10,9).

[134] This is a boast of a great and magnanimous soul, to rise above all creation, and to overleap its boundaries, and to cling to the great uncreated God alone, according to his sacred commands, in which we are expressly enjoined "to cleave unto him." ¹ Therefore he, in requital, bestows himself as their inheritance upon those who do cleave unto him, and who serve him without intermission; and the sacred scripture bears its testimony in behalf of this assertion, where it says, "The Lord himself is his inheritance." ²
