τὸ δὲ ἐν τῷ διαστήματι τούτῳ ὁ σωρὸς αὐτός ἐστι, φησί, καὶ ἡ πανσπερμία, καὶ γίνεται κατὰ φύσιν τὰ γινόμενα ὡς #x003E; τεχθῆναι ὑπὸ τοῦ τὰ μέλλοντα λέγεσθαι ὅτε δεῖ καὶ οἶά δεῖ καὶ ὡς δεῖ λελογισμένου. καὶ τούτων ἐστὶν ἐπιστάτης ἢ φροντιστὴς ἢ δημιουργὸς οὐδείς· ἀρκεῖ γὰρ αὐτοῖς ὁ λογισμὸς ἐκεῖνος, <ὅν> ὁ οὐκ ὢν ὅτε ἐποίει ἐποίει ἐλογίζετο.
