ἐπάνειμι πάλιν ἐπὶ τὸν τῆς αἰσθήσεως λόγον. ἀνθρώπινον οὖν τὸ κοινωνῆσαι αἴϲΘΗϲιν νοήσει· οὐ πᾶς δὲ ἄνθρωπος, ὡς προεῖπον, ἀπολαύει τῆς νοήσεως· [ἀλλ’ ὁ μὲν ὑλικός, ὁ δὲ οὐσιώδης.] ὁ μὲν γὰρ μετὰ κακίας [ὑλικός] ⟨νοεῖ⟩, ὡς ἔφην, ἀπὸ τῶν δαιμόνων τὸ σπέρμα τῆς νοήσεως ἴσχωΝ, οἱ δὲ μετὰ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ [οὐσιωδῶς], ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ σωζόμενοι. ὁ μὲν γὰρ θεός, πάντων δημιουργὸς [δημιουργ] ὤν, πάντα ποιεῖ [μὲν] ἑαυτῷ ὅμοια, ταῦτα δ᾽, ἀγαθὰ γενόμενα, ἐν τῇ χρήσει τῆς ἐνεργείας ⎡αφορα⎤· ἡ γὰρ κοσμικὴ φορά, τρέπουσα τὰς γενέσεις, ποιὰς ποιεῖ, τὰς μὲν ῥυπαίνουσα τῇ κακίᾳ, τὰς δὲ καθαίρουσα τῷ ἀγαθῷ.
