Κἀκεῖνο δὲ ὅρα, ὦ τέκνον, ὅτι δύο ταῦτα τῷ ἀνθρώπῳ ὁ θεὸς παρὰ πάντα τὰ θνητὰ ζῷα ἐχαρίσατο, τόν τε νοῦν καὶ τὸν λόγον, ἰσότιμα τῇ ἀθανασίᾳ· [τὸν δὲ προφορικὸν ⟨λ⟩έΓει·] τούτοις δὲ εἴ τις χρήσαιτο εἰς ἃ δεῖ, οὐδὲν τῶν ἀθανάτων διοίσει, μᾶλλον δὲ ⟨τῷ ἐν σώματι εἶναι μόνον διοίσει,⟩ καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἐκ τοῦ σώματος, ὁδηγηθήσεται ὑπὸ ἀμφοτερων εἰς τὴν τῶν θεῶν καὶ μακάρων χορόν.—
