γίνεται οὖν τὸ μὲν ἕτερον τῶν Χερουβὶμ ἡ ἐξωτάτω, τοῦ παντὸς οὐρανοῦ ὁ ἔσχατος, ἁψὶς ἐν ᾗ τὴν κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ καὶ ὡσαύτως ἔχουσαν οἱ ἀπλανεῖς θείαν ὡς ἀληθῶς χορείαν χορεύουσι τάξιν οὐ λείποντες, ἣν ὁ γεννήσας πατὴρ αὐτοὺς ἔταξεν ἐν κόσμῳ· θάτερον δ’ ἡ ἐντὸς περιεχομένη σφαῖρα, ἣν ἑξαχῆ σχίσας ἑπτὰ κύκλους ἀναλογοῦντας ἑαυτοῖς εἰργάζετο τῶν πλανήτων ἕκαστον εἰς αὐτοὺς ἁρμοσάμενος·
