ἡ δὲ τὸ παραπλήσιον ἐνδεξαμένη πάθος οὐκ ἠρεμεῖ, ἀλλ’ ἅτε ἀκοίμητος καὶ ἀεικίνητος οὖσα, παρὰ τῆς ὄψεως τοῦ δύνασθαι τὰ νοητὰ θεωρεῖν τὰς ἀφορμὰς λαβοῦσα, εἰς σκέψιν ἦλθε, πότερον τὰ φανέντα ταῦτ’ ἐστὶν ἀγένητα ἢ γενέσεως ἔλαβεν ἀρχὴν καὶ πότερον ἄπειρα ἢ πεπερασμένα καὶ πότερον εἷς ἢ πλείονές εἰσι κόσμοι καὶ πότερον τὰ τέτταρα στοιχεῖα τῶν ἁπάντων ἐστὶν ἢ φύσιν ἐξαίρετον οὐρανὸς καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτῷ κεκλήρωται θειοτέρας καὶ οὐχὶ τοῖς ἄλλοις τῆς αὐτῆς οὐσίας ἐπιλαχόντα·
