εἰδὼς οὖν ἐν ἑαυτῷ ὁ Σολομών, διδαχθ εὶς ἐκ τῆς τοῦ θεοῦ δοθείσης αὐτῷ σοφίας, ὅτι ὁ ἄνθρωπος καὶ ἡ σοφία προϋπῆρξαν τοῦ κόσμου καὶ τῶν φύσεων αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐνθυμήσει, βασανίσας * τὸ ἤδη προϋπάχον τοῦ κόσμου ἐν τῇ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐνθυμήσει πρὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου, ὃ ἐξεῦρε τῇ συνέσει αὐτοῦ ὁ κύριος, τοῦτο ἤδη ἔκτισεν ὁ αὐτὸς κύριος μεταγενέστερον τοῦ κόσμου καὶ τῶν φύσεων αὐτοῦ·
