[93] ὥστ’ ἀμήχανον παλιγγενεσίαν τὸν κόσμον λαβεῖν, μηδενὸς ἐντυφομένου σπερματικοῦ λόγου, πάντων δὲ δαπανηθέντων, τῶν μὲν
ἄλλων ὑπὸ πυρός, αὐτοῦ δ’ ὑπ’ ἐνδείας. ἐξ ὧν ἐστι δῆλον, ὅτι ἀγένητος καὶ ἄφθαρτος ὢν διατελεῖ.

[93] As therefore the flame is extinguished concurrently with the want of nourishment, so also is the light simultaneously with the flame, so that it is actually impossible for the world to be capable of regeneration, if there is no seminal principle lurking and kindled within it, but if all things are expended and destroyed, some by fire, and some by want. From all which arguments it is plain that the world is for ever uncreated and imperishable.
