⟨Πῶς ὦ τεκοῦσα⟩, ἀρρενικαὶ καὶ θηλυκαὶ γίγνονται ψυχαί;—[Πῶς ἀρρενικαὶ καὶ θηλυκαὶ γίγνονται ψυχαί.] Αἱ ψυχαί, ὦ τέκνον Ὧρε, ὁμοφυεῖς εἰσιν ἑαυταῖς, καθάπερ ἐξ ἑνὸς οὗσαι χωρίου, ἐν ᾧ αὐτὰς διετύπωσεΝ ὁ δημιουργός, καὶ οὔτε εἰσὶν ἄρρενες οὔτε θήλειαι. ἡ γὰρ τοιαύτη [διάθεσις] ⟨⟨διαφορὰ⟩⟩ ἐπὶ σωμάτων γίγνεται, καὶ οὐκ ἐπὶ ἀσωμάτων.
