οὕτω γὰρ οὐρανὸν καὶ γῆν ⟨συν⟩ά⟨γ⟩ει ὁ δημιουργός, λέγω δὴ ὁ ἥλιος, τὴν μὲν οὐσίαν κατάγων, τὴν δὲ ὕλην ἀνάγων· καὶ περὶ αὑτὸν ⟨...⟩ καὶ εἰς αὑτὸν ⎡τὰ πάντα⎤ ἕλκων, καὶ ἀπὸ ἑαυτοῦ ⎡πάντα⎤ διδούς· πᾶσι Γὰρ τὸ φῶς ἄφθονον χαρίζεται. αὐτὸς γάρ ἐστιν, οὗ ἀγαθαὶ ἐνέργειαι οὐ μόνον ἐν οὐρανῷ [καὶ ἀέρι], ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς ⟨..., καὶ⟩ εἰς τὸν κατώτατον βυθὸν [καὶ ἄβυσσον] διήκουσιν.
