Πάντων οὖν ἀνωμολογημένων θεοῦ κτημάτων λόγοις τε ἀληθέσι καὶ μαρτυρίαις, ἃς οὐ θέμις ψευδομαρτυριῶν ἁλῶναι — χρησμοὶ γάρ, οὓς ἐν ἱεραῖς βίβλοις Μωυσῆς ἀνέγραψεν, οἱ μαρτυροῦντές εἰσι —, παραιτητέον τοίνυν τὸν νοῦν, ὃς τὸ γεννηθὲν κατὰ τὴν πρὸς αἴσθησιν σύνοδον κτῆμα ἴδιον ᾠήθη τε καὶ ἐκάλεσε [τὸν] Κάιν καὶ εἶπεν· „ἐκτησάμην ἄνθρωπον διὰ τοῦ θεοῦ“, καὶ κατὰ τοῦτο διαμαρτών·
