Eusebius, Praeparatio Evangelica, ed. Wilhelm Dindorf, 15.45

[1] “Περὶ ἰδέας.

Ἰδέα δέ ἐστιν οὐσία ἀσώματος, αὐτὴ μὲν ὑφε- στῶσα καὶ καθ’ ἑαυτὴν, εἰκονίζουσα δὲ τὰς ἀμόρφους
ὕλας καὶ αἰτία γιγνομένη τῆς τούτων δείξεως.

[2] Σωκράτης καὶ Πλάτων’ χωριστὰς τῆς ὕλης οὐσίας τὰς ἰδέας ὑπολαμβάνουσιν, ἐν τοῖς νοήμασι καὶ ἐν ταῖς φαντασίαις τοῦ θεοῦ, τουτέστι τοῦ νοῦ, ὑφεστώσας.

[3] Ἀριστοτέλης εἴδη μὲν ἀπέλιπε καὶ ἰδέας, οὐ
μὴν κεχωρισμένας τῆς ὕλης , ἔξω γεγονὼς τοῦ ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ.

[4] Οἶ’ ἀπὸ Ζήνωνος Στωϊκοὶ ἐννοήματα τὰς ἰδέας.”
