πάντα δέ, φησί, νενόμισται τὰ μέρη τοῦ πυρὸς ὁρατὰ καὶ ἀόρατα φρόνησιν ἔχειν. γέγονεν οὖν, φασίν, ὁ κόσμος ὁ γεννητὸς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀγεννήτου πυρός. ἤρξατο δέ, φησίν, οὕτως γίνεσθαι, ἓξ ῥίζας τὰς πρώτας τῆς ἀρχῆς τῆς γενέσεως ὁ γεννητὸς ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρχῆς τοῦ πυρὸς ἐκείνου λαβών· ταύτας γὰρ ῥίζας γεγονέναι κατὰ συζυγίαν ἀπὸ τοῦ πυρός, ἅστινας καλεῖ Νοῦν καὶ Ἐπίνοιαν, Φωνὴν καὶ Ὄνομα, Λογισμὸν καὶ Ἐνθύμησιν.
