Δεσμὰ δὲ τὰ Κρόνου ἐστὶν ἡ σύμπηξις οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς, ὡς καὶ ἄλλων ἀλληγορούντων ἀκήκοα, ἡ δὲ ἀποκοπὴ τῶν μορίων ὁ τῶν στοιχείων χωρισμὸς καὶ διάκρισις, ὅτι πάντα ἐκ τῆς ἰδίας φύσεως ἀπετμήθη καὶ ἀφωρίσθη, καθ᾽ ἑαυτὰ τετάχθαι ἕκαστον· καὶ οὐκ ἔτι γεννᾷ χρόνος, ἀλλὰ τὰ γεννηθέντα δἰ αὐτοῦ νόμῳ φύσεως ποιεῖται τὰς διαδοχάς. ἡ δὲ ἐκ τοῦ βυθοῦ ἀνακύψασα Ἀφροδίτη, ἡ ἐκ τοῦ ὑγροῦ γόνιμος οὐσία, ᾗ τὸ θερμὸν πνεῦμα μιγὲν τὸν τῆς μίξεως ποιεῖται ἔρωτα, καὶ τελεσιουργεῖ τοῦ κόσμου τὸ κάλλος.
