τὰ μὲν γὰρ ἄψυχα σώματα τὸ συμβεβηκὸς ἐν ποιότησι κέκτηνται· ἥ τε γὰρ αὐγὴ σύμφυτος οὖσα τῇ τοῦ φωτὸς φύσει καὶ οὐσιωδῶς συνυπάρχουσα τῷ φωτὶ, οὐκ ἂν δύναιτο ἐκτὸς ὑφεστάναι τοῦ ἐν ᾧ ἐστιν· ὁ δέ γε τοῦ θεοῦ λόγος καθ’ ἑαυτὸν οὐσίωταί τε καὶ ὑφέστηκε, καὶ οὐκ ἀγεννήτως συνυπάρχει τῷ πατρὶ, ἀλλ’ ὡς μονογενὴς υἱὸς μόνος πρὸ πάντων τῶν αἰώνων ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς γεγεννημένος, ἥ τε εὐωδία ἀπορροή τις οὖσα σωματικὴ τοῦ ὑποκειμένου, καὶ οὐ καθ’ ἑαυτὴν ἐκτὸς τοῦ πρώτου αἰτίου τὸ πλησιάζον πληροῦσα, οὐδὲν ἧττον σωματικὴ οὖσα καὶ αὐτὴ τυγχάνει.
