[96] ὁρᾷς ὅτι καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ περὶ ἡμᾶς ὄγκου σωματικοῦ, ὃς γεώδης καὶ ξύλινος ὄντως ἐστίν, οἴεται δεῖν ἀπάρχεσθαι; ἡ γὰρ ζωὴ καὶ διαμονὴ καὶ αὔξησις καὶ ὑγίεια αὐτῷ θείᾳ γίνεται χάριτι. ὁρᾷς δ’
ὅτι καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἐν ἡμῖν αὐτοῖς ζῴων ἀλόγων — ταῦτα δ’ εἰσὶν αἰσθήσεις — πάλιν ἀπάρχεσθαι διείρηται; τὸ γὰρ ὁρᾶν καὶ ἀκούειν καὶ ὀσφραίνεσθαι καὶ γεύεσθαι, ἔτι δὲ ἅπτεσθαι δωρεαὶ θεῖαι, ὑπὲρ ὧν εὐχαριστητέον.

[96] You see that he thinks that it is proper to make an offering, by way of first fruits from the corporeal mass that is around us, which is really earthly and wooden; for life, and durability, and increase, and good health, fall to his share through the divine grace. You see also, that again an express command is given to offer first-fruits from all the irrational animals that are around ourselves; and by these are meant ¹² the outward senses. For to see, and to hear, and to smell, and to taste, and also to touch are divine gifts, for which it is our duty to give thanks.
