ὅτι δὴ καὶ ταῦτα πάντα [τὰ] δι’ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰς αὐτὸν« ἐκτίσθαι καὶ πρὸ πάντων« αὐτὸν εἶναι τούτων ὁ θεῖος ἐδίδαξεν ἀπόστολος, ἔνθεν ὡς εἰκὸς ὁρμώμενος, διὰ τὸ λέγεσθαι ἐν τούτοις ἐκ προσώπου τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ τὸ »πρὸ τοῦ ὂρη ἑδρασθῆναι, πρὸ δὲ πάντων βουνῶν γεννᾷ με«. τὰ μὲν οὖν ἄλλα ἡδράσθαι ἔφη, μόνον δὲ αὑτὸν γεγεννῆσθαι πρὸ τῆς τῶν δηλωθέντων συστάσεως.
