[75] τὸ δὲ „δώσω σοι τόπον, οὗ φεύξεται ὁ φονεύσας“ (Exod. 21,13) ἀκουσίως, πάνυ καλῶς εἰρῆσθαί μοι δοκεῖ·
τόπον γὰρ καλεῖ νῦν οὐ χώραν ἐκπεπληρωμένην ὑπὸ σώματος, ἀλλὰ δι’ ὑπονοιῶν αὐτὸν τὸν θεόν, ἐπειδὴ περιέχων οὐ περιέχεται καὶ ὅτι καταφυγὴ τῶν ὅλων ἐστί.

[75] And the expression, "I will give thee a place to which he who has slain a man unintentionally shall flee," appears to me to be spoken with exceeding propriety; for what he calls a place is not a region filled by the body, but is rather, in a figure, God himself, because he, surrounding all things, is not surrounded himself, and because he is that to which all things flee for refuge.
