οἰκητήριον δὲ λέγει εἶναι τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦτον τὸν ἐξ αἰμαγτων γεγεννημένον, καὶ κατοικεῖν ἐν αὐτῷ τὴν ἀπέραντον δύναμιν, ἤν ῥίζαν εἶναι τῶν ὅλων φησίν. ἔστι δὲ ἡ ἀπέραντος δύναμις. τὸ πῦρ, κατὰ τὸν Σίμωνα οὐδὲν ἁπλοῦν, καθάπερ οἱ πολλοὶ ὰπλᾶ λἐγοντες εἶναι τὰ τέσσαρα τέσσαρα στοιχεῖα καὶ τὸ πῦρ ἀπλοῦν εἶναι νενομίκασιν, ἀλλὰ γὰρ εἶναι [τὴν] τοῦ πυρὸς διπλῆν τινα τὴν φύσιν καὶ τῆς διπλῆς ταύτης καλεῖ τὸ μέν τι κρυπτόν, τὸ δὲ τι φανερόν·
