ἐπισκέψαι δὲ λευκοὺς ἵππους τῶν ἀκολουθούντων τῷ λόγῳ, ἐνδεδυμένους »βύσσινον λευκὸν »καὶ καθαρόν«, εἰ μή, ἐπεὶ ἡ βύσσος ἀπὸ γῆς γίνεται, τῶν ἐπὶ γῆς διαλέκτων, ἅς ἠμφιεσμέναι εἰσὶν αἱ σημαίνουσαι φωναὶ καθαρῶς τὰ πράγματα, τύποι τυγχάνουσι τὰ βύσσινα ἐνδύματα. ταῦτα δὴ ἐπὰ πλεῖον ἐκ τῆς Ἀποκαλύψεως διδασούσης περὶ λόγου θεοῦ εἴρηται, ἵνα ἀκριβέστερον τὰ περὶ αὐτοῦ νοήσωμεν. Ι, 2. Οἷτος ἦν ἐν ἀρχῇ πρὸς τὸν θεόν.
