τεκμήριον δὲ ἐναργέστατον τῆς ἀποικίας, ἣν ἀπ’ ἀστρονομίας καὶ τῆς χαλδαϊζούσης δόξης ἡ διάνοια ἐστείλατο· λέγεται γὰρ εὐθὺς ἅμα τῇ μεταναστάσει τοῦ σοφοῦ· „ὤφθη δὲ ὁ θεὸς τῷ Ἀβραάμ“ (Gen. 12, 7)· ᾧ δῆλον ὅτι πρότερον οὐκ ἦν ἐμφανής, ὅτε χαλδαΐζων τῇ τῶν ἀστέρων χορείᾳ προσεῖχεν ἔξω τοῦ κόσμου καὶ τῆς αἰσθητῆς οὐσίας εὐάρμοστον καὶ νοητὴν φύσιν οὐδεμίαν ἁπλῶς καταλαμβάνων.
