[65] γενομένη δὲ πλήρωμα ἀρετῶν ἥδε ἡ ψυχὴ διὰ τριῶν
τῶν ἀρίστων, φύσεως καὶ μαθήσεως καὶ ἀσκήσεως, οὐδὲν ἐν ἑαυτῇ καταλιποῦσα κενὸν εἰς πάροδον ἄλλων, γεννᾷ τέλειον ἀριθμόν, διττὰς υἱῶν ἑξάδας, ἀπεικόνισμα καὶ μίμημα τοῦ ζῳδιακοῦ κύκλου, πρὸς τὴν τῶν ἐνταῦθα βελτίωσιν. οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ἀσινὴς οἶκος, ὁ τέλειος καὶ συνεχὴς ἐν ταῖς ῥηταῖς γραφαῖς καὶ ἐν ταῖς καθ’ ὑπόνοιαν ἀλληγορίαις,
ὃς ἔλαβεν ἆθλον, καθάπερ εἶπον, ἡγεμονίαν τῶν τοῦ ἔθνους p. 419 Μ. φυλῶν.

[65] And thus the soul becoming a perfect company of virtues, by means of these three most excellent patronesses, nature, instruction, and meditation, and not having left one single spot in itself empty, so as to allow of the entrance of anything else, engenders perfect number, namely, two lots of sons, of six in each, being a representation and imitation of the circle of the zodiac, in order to the improvement of everything in them: this is the family exempt from all injury, being continually devoted to the study of the holy scriptures, both in their literal sense and also in the allegories figuratively contained in them: which received as a prize, as I have said before, the supreme authority over each of the tribes of the nation.
