[⎡κρείττων ἐστὶν ὅσος κατὰ θεὸν ὀνόματος τοσοῦτος.⎤] ⟨τίς γὰρ ἄλλος⟩ ἐστὶν ὁ πάντων πατήρ; ἦ γὰρ ⟨οὐ⟩ μόνος οὗτος; καὶ τοῦτο αὐτῷ τὸ ἔργον ἐστί, ⟨τὸ⟩ πατέρα εἶναι. εἰ δέ τί με καὶ τολμηρότερον ἀνάγκΗ[ζεις] εἰπεῖν, τούτου ἐστὶν ⟨ἡ⟩ οὐσία τὸ κιΝεῖν πάντα καὶ ποιεῖν· καὶ ὥσπερ χωρὶς τοῦ ποιοῦντος ἀδύνατόν ἐστι γενέσθαι τι, οὕτω καὶ τοῦτον Δεῖ μὴ εἶναι, εἰ μὴ πάντα ἀεὶ ποιοῦντα, ἐν οὐρανῷ, ἐν ἀέρι, ἐν γῇ, ἐν βυθῷ, ἐν παντὶ τοῦ κόσμου ⟨μέρει⟩, ἐν παντὶ [τοῦ παντὸς] τῷ ὄντι καὶ τῷ μὴ ὄντι. οὐδὲν γάρ ἐστιν ἐν παντὶ ἐκείνῳ ὃ οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτός. ἔστιν αὐτὸς καὶ τὰ ὄντα καὶ τὰ μὴ ὄντα· τὰ μὲν γὰρ ὄντα ἐφανέρωσε, τὰ δὲ μὴ ὄντα ἔχει ἐν ἑαυτῷ.
