ὅθεν τὸν θεὸν δυσὶ ταύταις ταῖς προσηγορίαις σέβεσθαι δεῖ, ταῖς μόνῳ αὐτῷ προσῳκειωμέναις καὶ ἄλλῳ οὐδενί. οὔτε γὰρ τῶν ἄλλων λεγομένων θεῶν οὔτε ἀνθρώπων οὔτε δαιμόνων τις δύναται κἂν καθ᾽ ὁποσονοῦν ἀγαθὸς εἶναι, ἢ μόνος ὁ θεός· [[καὶ τοῦτό ἐστι μόνον, καὶ οὐδὲν ἄλλο·]] τὰ δὲ ἄλλα πάντα ⟨ἀ⟩χώρητά ἐστι τῆς τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ φύσεως. σῶμα γάρ ἐστι καὶ ψυχὴ τόπον οὐκ ἔχοντα χωρῆσοι δυνάμενον τὸ ἀγαθόν·
