[32] 9 Ταυτὶ μὲν οὖν ἀποχρώντως λελέχθω, συνυφαίνειν δ’ ἀναγκαῖον
τὰ ἀκόλουθα. τοὺς δέκα λόγους ἢ χρησμούς, νόμους ἢ θεσμοὺς πρὸς ἀλήθειαν ὄντας, ἀθροισθέντος τοῦ ἔθνους ἀνδρῶν ὁμοῦ καὶ γυναικῶν εἰς ἐκκλησίαν, ὁ πατὴρ τῶν ὅλων ἐθέσπισεν. ἆρά γε φωνῆς τρόπον ¹ προέμενος αὐτός; ἄπαγε, μηδ’ εἰς νοῦν ποτ’ ἔλθοι τὸν ἡμέτερον· οὐ γὰρ ὡς ἄνθρωπος ὁ θεός, στόματος καὶ γλώττης καὶ ἀρτηριῶν δεόμενος.

This, then, may be enough to say on these subjects; but it is necessary now to connect with these things what I am about to say, namely, that it was the Father of the universe who delivered these ten maxims, or oracles, or laws and enactments, as they truly are, to the whole assembled nation of men and women altogether. Did he then do so, uttering himself some kind of voice? Away! let not such an idea ever enter your mind; for God is not like a man, in need of a mouth, and of a tongue, and of a windpipe,
