ἤρτηται οὖν ὁ νοητὸς κόσμος τοῦ θεοῦ [ὁ δὲ αἰσθητὸς τοῦ νοητοῦ]· ὁ δὲ ἥλιος διὰ τοῦ νοητοῦ [καὶ αἰσθητοῦ] κόσμου τὴν ἐπιρροὴν ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ χορηγεῖται τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ, τουτέστι τῆς δημιουργίας. περὶ δὲ τὸν ἥλιον αἱ ὀκτώ εἰσι σφαῖραι, τούτου ἠρτημέναι, ἥ τε τῶν ἀπλανῶν καὶ ⟨αἱ⟩ ἓξ τῶν πλανωμένων καὶ ἡ μία περίγειος. τούτων δὲ τῶν σφαιρῶν ἤρτηνται οἱ δαίμονες, τῶν δὲ δαιμόνων οἱ ἄνθρωποι· καὶ οὕτω πάντα τε καὶ πάντες ἀπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ εἰσιν ἠρτημένοι.
