[43] ἀλλ’ οὗτοί γε οἱ θεσπέσιοι καὶ τῶν ἄλλων διενηνοχότες, ὅπερ ἔφην, κάτωθεν ἄνω προῆλθον οἷα διά τινος οὐρανίου κλίμακος, ἀπὸ τῶν
ἔργων εἰκότι λογισμῷ στοχασάμενοι τὸν δημιουργόν. εἰ δέ τινες ἐδυνήθησαν αὐτὸν ἐξ ἑαυτοῦ καταλαβεῖν ἑτέρῳ μηδενὶ χρησάμενοι λογισμῷ συνεργῷ πρὸς τὴν θέαν, ἐν ὁσίοις καὶ γνησίοις θεραπευταῖς καὶ θεοφιλέσιν ὡς ἀληθῶς ἀναγραφέσθωσαν.
