καὶ συνέχοντες αὐτὴν τοῦ μὴ ἄνω δύνασθαι ἀνιέναι συνεγίνοντο αὐτῇ, ἕκαστος ἐν ἑκάστῳ σώματι γυναικείας καὶ θηλυκῆς σχέσεως, μεταγγιζομένης αὐτῆς ἀπὸ σωμάτων θηλυκῶν εἰς σώματα διάφορα ἀνθρωπίνης φύσεώς τε καὶ κτηνῶν καὶ τῶν ἄλλων, ἴνα δι' ὡν αὐτοὶ ἐργάζονται, κτείνοντές τε καὶ κτεινόμενοι, μείωσιν ἑαυτῶν διὰ τῆς τοῦ αἵματος προχύσεως ἐργάζωνται, εἶτα ἐκείνη τὴν δύναμιν συλλεγομένη πόλιν αὖθις εἰς οὐρανὸν ἀναβῆναι δυνηθῇ.
