τὴν δὲ τῶν ὅλων ἀγένητον ἀρχὴν, ἀγαθῶν ἁπάντων οὖσαν πηγὴν, θεότητός τε καὶ ζωῆς ὁμοῦ καὶ φωτὸς καὶ πάσης ἀρετῆς αἰτίαν, καὶ πρώτην γε οὖσαν τῶν πρώτων καὶ ἀρχῶν ἀρχὴν, μᾶλλον δὲ καὶ ἀρχῆς καὶ πρώτου καὶ πάσης ῥητῆς τε καὶ καταληπτῆς ἐπινοίας ἐπέκεινα, τὰ μὲν πάντα ὅσα περ ἐν ἀρρήτοις δυνάμεσι περιείληφε τῷ πρώτῳ γεννήματι κοινωνεῖν μόνῳ, ὡς ἂν μόνως οἵῳ τε χωρεῖν καὶ ἀποδέχεσθαι τὴν τοῖς ἄλλοις οὐκ ἐφικτὴν οὐδὲ χωρητὴν τοῦ πατρὸς τῶν ἀγαθῶν ἀφθονίαν.
