γεγονέναι οὖν φησι τὸν κόσμον Μωϋσῆς ἐν ἓξ ἡμέραις, τουτέστιν ἐν ἓξ δυνάμεσιν, ἐξ ὡν ὁ κόσμος ἀπὸ τῆς κεραίας γέγονε τῆς μιᾶς. οἵ τε γὰρ κύβοι καὶ τὰ ὀκτάεδρα καὶ αἱ πυραμίδες καὶ πάντα τὰ τούτοις παραπλήσια σχήματα [ἴσα ἦν], ἐξ συνέστηκε πῦρ, ἀήρ, ὕδωρ, γῆ, ἀπὸ τῶν ἀριθμῶν γεγόνασι κατειλημμένων ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἁπλῇ τοῦ ἰῶτα κεραίᾳ, ἥτις ἐστὶν υἱὸς ἀνθρώπου.
