ὁ δὲ ποταμὸς ὁ τέταρτος Εὐφράτης«. τοῦτον λέγουσι στόμα, δι᾿ οὑ ἡ τῆς προσευχῆς ἔξοδος καὶ ἡ τῆς τροφῆς εἴσοδος, <ὃς> καὶ τρέφει καὶ χαρακτηρίζει τὸν πνευματικὸν τέλειον ἄνθρωπον. τοῦτο, φησίν, ἐστὶ τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ὑπεράνω τοῦ στερεώματος, περὶ οὑ, φησίν, εἴρηκεν ὁ σωτήρ· »εἰ ᾔδεις τίς ἐστιν ὁ αἰτῶν, σὺ ἂν ᾔτησας παρ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔδωκεν ἄν σοι πιεῖν ζῶν ὕδωρ ἁλλόμενον«.
