7 ὁ θαυμαστὸς οὗτος αὖθις ἐπὶ τὴν σάρκα 〈κατα〉πεσὼν αὐτὴν 5, εἶναι ἀποφαίνεται τὴν εἰκόνα τοῦ ἀοράτου θεοῦ, οὐκ ἀκούων ὡς ἀρσενικῷ χαρακτῆρι ἐξενήνεκται τὸ »ὅς ἐστιν εἰκών«. τὸ γὰρ »ὃς« οὐκ οἶδ ὅπως ἐφαρμόσας τῇ σαρκί, ταύτην ἔφη δηλοῦσθαι ὡς αὐτῆς οὔσης τῆς εἰκόνος »τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ἀοράτου«. καὶ πάλιν τὸ »αὐτός ἐστιν πρὸ πάντων« περὶ τῆς σαρκὸς φησιν εἰρῆσθαι οὐκ αἰδούμενος τὸ »αὐτὸς« ἐπὶ τῆς σαρκὸς ἐκλαμβάνειν.
