πρῶτον μὲν γὰρ εἰ προέκειτο Ἰωάννῃ τὴν ἄνω Ὀγδοάδα μηνῦσαι, τὴν τάξιν ἄν τετηρήκει τῆς προβλῆς καὶ τὴν πρώτην τετράδα σεβασμιωτάτην οὖσαν, καθὼς λέγουσιν, ἐν πρώτοις ἄν τεθείκει τοῖς ὀνόμασι καὶ οὕτως ἐπεζεύχει τὴν δευτέραν, ἵνα διὰ τῆς τάξεως τῶν ὀνομάτων ἠ δειχθῇ τῆς Ὀγδοάδος, καὶ οὐκ ἄν μετὰ τοσοῦτον διάστημα ὡς ἐκλελησμένος, ἔπειτα ἀναμνησθεὶς ἐπ’ ἐσχάτῳ τῆς πρώτης ἐμέμνητο τετράδος.
