καὶ τὸ μὲν νεῖκος ἀδικεῖν διὰ παντὸς καὶ πλεονεκτεῖν καὶ ἀποσπᾶν τά τῆς φιλίας καὶ ἑαυτῷ προσνέμειν, τὴν δὲ φιλίαν ἀεὶ καὶ διὰ παντός, ἀγαθήν τινα οὖσαν καὶ τῆς ἑνότητος ἐπιμελουμένην, τὰ ἀπεσπασμένα τοῦ παντὸς καὶ βεβασανισμένα καὶ κεκολασμένα ἐν τῇ κτίσει ὑπὸ τοῦ δημιουργοῦ ἀνακαλεῖσθαι καὶ προσάγειν καὶ ὲν ποιεῖν. τοιαύτη τις ἡ κατὰ τὸν Ἐμπεδοκλέα ἡμῖν ἡ τοῦ κόσμου γένεσις καὶ φθορὰ καὶ σύστασις ἐξ ἀγαθοῦ καὶ κακοῦ συνεστῶσα φιλοσοφεῖται. εἶναι δέ φησι καὶ νοητὴν τρίτην τινὰ δύναμιν, ἣν καὶ ἐκ τούτων ἐπινοεῖσθαι δύνασθαι, λέγων ὡδέ πως·
