Κέχρηται δὲ διακόνῳ τῷ τῶν ἑπτὰ ἀριθμῶν μεγέθει, ὥς φησιν ἡ Μάρκου Σιγή, ἵνα τῆς αὐτοβουλήτου βουλῆς φανερωθῇ ὁ καρπός. τὸν μέντοι ἐπίσημον τοῦτον ἀριθμὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ παρόντος, φησί, τὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ ἐπισήμου μορφωθέντα νόησον τὸν ὥσπερ μερισθέντα ἢ διχοτομηθέντα καὶ ἔξω μείναντα, ος τῇ ἑαυτοῦ δυνάμει τε καὶ φρονήσει διὰ τῆς ἀπ᾿ αὐτοῦ προβολῆς τοῦτον | τὸν τῶν ἑπτὰ δυνάμεων κατὰ μίμησιν τῆς ἑβδομάδος D228 δυνάμεως ἐψύχωσε κόσμον καὶ ψυχὴν ἔθετο εἶναι τοῦ ὁρωμένου παντός.
