⟨⟨ἐπεὶ δὲ τὸν πάντα κόσμον ἐποίησεν ὁ δημιουργός,⟩⟩ ἠθέλησε καὶ τὴν γῆν κοσμῆσαι· κόσμον δὲ θείου σώματος κατέπεμψε τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ⟨εἰκόνα⟩ ζῴου ἀθανάτου ζῷον θνητόν. [[καὶ ὁ μὲν κόσμος τῶν ζῴων ἐπλεονέκτει τοῦ ζῷου καὶ τοῦ κόσμου τὸν λόγον καὶ τὸν νοῦν.]] ⟨...⟩ θεατὴς γὰρ [[ἐγένετο]] τῶν ἔργων τοῦ θεοῦ ὁ ἄνθρωπος· καὶ ⟨ἐπὶ τοῦτο ⟨⟨ἐγένετο⟩⟩, τὸ τὸν κόσμον⟩ [ε]θαυμάσαι, καὶ [ε]γνωρίσαι τὸν ποιήσαντα.
