ἀλλ' αὐτὸς μὲν οἶα βασιλεὺς εἴσω που ἐν ἀρρήτοις καὶ ἀδύτοις καὶ ἀβάτοις φῶς οἰκῶν ἀπρόσιτον διὰ παντὸς μόνῃ τῇ θελητικῇ δυνάμει νομοθετεῖ καὶ διατάττεται· θέλον- τος γὰρ ἐστιν ὅ τι καὶ ἔστιν, καὶ μὴ θέλοντος οὐκ ἔστιν, θέλει δὲ ἀγαθὰ πάντα, ὅτι δὴ καὶ αὐτοαγαθὸν τὴν οὐσίαν τυγχάνει. ὁ δέ, δἰ οὗ τὰ πάντα, θεοῦ λόγος ἄνωθεν ἐξ ἀγαθοῦ πατρὸς ὡς ἐξ ἀενάου καὶ ἀπείρου πηγῆς ἀνομβρῶν λόγοις ἀρρήτοις ποταμοῦ δίκην πρόεισιν, ὅλος πλημμυρῶν ἐς τὸ κοινὸν τῆς τοῦ παντὸς σωτηρίας.
