ἀλλὰ νοητέον ὅτι ἡ αὐτοαλήθεια ἡ οὐσιώδης καί, ἕν οὕτως εἴπω, πρωτότυπος τῆς ἐν ταῖς λογικαῖς ψυχαῖς ἀληθείας, ἀφ’ ἧς ἀληθείας οἱονεὶ εἰκόνες ἐκείνης ἐντετύπωνται τοῖς φρονοῦσι τὴν ἀλήθειαν, οὐχὶ οὐχὶ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐγένετο οὐδ᾿ ὅλως διά τινος, ἀλλ’ ὑπὸ θεοῦ ἐγέννετο· ὡς καὶ ὁ λόγος οὐ διά τινος ὁ έν ἀρχῇ πρὸς τὸν θεὸν καὶ ἡ σοφία, ἣν »ἔκτισεν ἀρχὴν ὁδῶν αὐτοῦ ὁ θεός«, οὐ διά τινος, οὕτως οὐδὲ ἡ ἀλή- θεια διά τινος.
