διττὴ δὲ φωτὸς φύσις· τὸ μὲν γὰρ ἀπὸ τοῦ χρειώδους πυρός, φθαρτοῦ φθαρτόν, ἐκλάμπει σβέσιν ἐνδεχόμενον, τὸ δὲ ἄσβεστον καὶ ἀδιάφθορόν ἐστιν, ἄνωθεν ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ πρὸς ἡμᾶς φερόμενον, ὥσπερ ἀπ’ ἀενάων πηγῶν ἑκάστου τῶν ἀστέρων αὐγὰς ἐκχέοντος· ἑκατέρῳ δ’ ἡ ὄψις ἐνομιλεῖ καὶ δι’ ἀμφοτέρων προσβάλλει τοῖς ὁρατοῖς εἰς ἀκριβεστάτην ἀντίληψιν.
