ΒΙΒΛΙΟΝ ΟΓΔΟΟΝ., Chapter 15

ὁ θεός μου, ὁ νοῦς μου, ἡ διάνοιά μου, ἡ ψυχή μου, τὸ σῶμά μου, καὶ μάθε, πόθεν ἐστὶ τὸ λυπεῖσθαι καὶ τὸ χαίρειν καὶ τὸ ἀγαπᾶν καὶ τὸ μισεῖν καὶ τὸ γρηγορεῖν μὴ θέλοντα καὶ τὸ νυστάζειν μὴ θέλοντα καὶ τὸ ὀργίζεσθαι μὴ θέλοντα καὶ τὸ φιλεῖν μὴ θέλοντα· κοὶ ἂν ταῦτα, φησίν, ἐπιζητήσῃς ἀκριβῶς, εὑρήσεις αὑτὸν ἐν ἑαυτῷ ὲν καὶ πολλὰ κατὰ τὴν κεραίαν ἐκείνην, αφ᾿ ἑαυτοῦ τὴν διέξοδον εὑρών.
