εἰ δὲ μὴ τοῦτο ἀλλ’ αὐγὴ γίνεται, πάλιν ἀθρόα μεταβάλλει. διὰ τί; ὅτι ὑπόστασιν ἰδίαν οὐκ ἔχει, γεννᾶται δ’ ἐκ φλογός, ἧς ὅλης δι’ ὅλων σβέσιν λαμβανούσης, ἀνάγκη καὶ τὴν αὐγὴν μὴ κατὰ μέρος ἀλλ’ ἀθρόαν ἀναιρεῖσθαι· ὃ γὰρ πρὸς τροφὴν φλόξ, τοῦτο αὐγὴ πρὸς φλόγα· καθάπερ οὖν τροφῇ συναναιρεῖται φλόξ, καὶ αὐγὴ φλογί.
