[121] ὃν καὶ μύστην γεγονότα τῶν
θείων τελετῶν καὶ συμπεριπολοῦντα ταῖς τῶν οὐρανίων χορείαις καὶ περιόδοις ἐγέραρεν ὁ θεὸς ἠρεμίᾳ, βουληθεὶς ἀμέθεκτον εἶναι, κηραίνοντα περὶ μηδὲν πάθος ὧν αἱ τοῦ σώματος γεννῶσιν ἀνάγκαι ἐπιτιθέμεναι κατὰ πλεονεξίαν παθῶν δυναστείας· p. 428 M. ἢ γὰρ περιέψυξέ τι ἢ περιέφλεξε[ν οὐρανὸς] καὶ αὐχμηρὸν ἢ τοὐναντίον ῥοῶδες ἀπειργάσατο·
δι’ ὧν ἁπάντων ὁ νοῦς εὐθύνειν ἀδυνατεῖ τὴν τοῦ καθ’ αὑτὸν βίου πορείαν.
