⟨⟨καὶ ὁ μὲν κόσμος ⟨...· ὁ δὲ ἄνθρωπος⟩ τῶν ⟨ἄλλων⟩ ζῴων [ε]πλεονεκτεῖ [τοῦ ζῴου καὶ τοῦ κόσμου] τὸν λόγον καὶ τὸν νοῦν.⟩⟩ τὸν μὲν οὖν λόγον, ὦ Τάτ,[ἐν] πᾶσι τοῖς ἀνθρώποις ἐμέρισε, τὸν δὲ νοῦν οὐκέτι, οὐ φθονῶν τισιν· ὁ γὰρ φθόνος οὐκ ο᾽ΥΡαν⟨ό⟩θεν ἄρχεται, κάτω δὲ συνίσταται ταῖς τῶν νοῦν μὴ ἐχόντων ἀνθρώπων ψυχαῖς.—Διὰ τί οὖν, ὦ πάτερ, οὐ πᾶσιν ἐμέρισε τὸν νοῦν ὁ θεός;—Ἠθέλησεν, ὦ τέκνον, τοῦτον ἐν μέσῳ ταῖς ψυχαῖς ὥσπερ ἆθλον ἱδρῦσθαι.—
