καὶ ὁ αἰὼν κοσμεῖ [οὖν] τὴν ⟨ὕλην⟩, ἀθανασίαν καὶ διαμονὴν ἐνθεὶς τῇ ὕλῃ· [ἡ γὰρ ἐκείνης γένεσις] [[ἤρτηται ἐκ τοῦ αἰῶνος, καθάπερ καὶ ὁ αἰὼν ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ·]] ἡ γὰρ γένεσις [καὶ ὁ χρόνος ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐν γῇ εἰσιν ὄντες] διφυΉς, ἐν μὲν οὐρανῷ ἀμεταβλήτωΝ καὶ ἀφθάρτωΝ, ἐν δὲ γῇ μεταβλητῶN καὶ φθαρτῶΝ. ⟨ὁ κόσμος οὖν⟩ ⟨⟨ἥρτηται ἐκ τοῦ αἰῶνος, καθάπερ καὶ ὁ αἰὼν ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ·⟩⟩ καὶ τοῦ μὲν αἰῶνος ⎡ἡ ψυχὴ⎤ ὁ θεός, τοῦ δὲ κόσμου ὁ αἰών [τῆς δὲ γῆς ὁ οὐρανός].
