[192] οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ μέγας κατακλυσμός, ἐν ᾧ „ἀνεῴχθησαν μὲν οἱ καταρράκται τοῦ οὐρανοῦ,“ λέγω δὲ τοῦ νοῦ, „ἀπεκαλύφθησαν δὲ αἱ πηγαὶ τῆς ἀβύσσου“ (Gen. 7,11), τουτέστι τῆς αἰσθήσεως. μόνως γὰρ οὕτως ἡ ψυχὴ κατακλύζεται, ἄνωθεν μὲν ὥσπερ ἀπ’ οὐρανοῦ τοῦ νοῦ καταρραγέντων ἀδικημάτων, κάτωθεν δὲ ὥσπερ ἀπὸ ¹ γῆς τῆς αἰσθήσεως ἀνομβρησάντων παθῶν.

[192] This is that great deluge in which "the cataracts of heaven were opened" ¹ by heaven I here mean of the mind—and the fountains of the bottomless pit were revealed; that is to say, of the outward sense; for in this way alone is the soul ²³ overwhelmed, iniquities being broken up and poured over it from above, as from the heaven of the mind, and the passions irrigating it from below, as from the earth of the outward senses.
