τοῦ παθήματος τούτου σύμβολον ὁ μέγας ἀναγραφεὶς παρὰ τῷ νομοθέτῃ κατακλυσμός ἐστι, τῶν τε ἀπ’ οὐρανοῦ καταρρακτῶν τοὺς κακίας αὐτῆς λάβρῳ φορᾷ χειμάρρους ἐπομβρούντων καὶ τῶν ἀπὸ γῆς, λέγω δὲ τοῦ σώματος, πηγῶν ἀναχεουσῶν τὰ πάθους ἑκάστου ῥεύματα πολλὰ ὄντα καὶ μεγάλα, ἅπερ εἰς ταὐτὸν τοῖς προτέροις συνιόντα καὶ ἀναμιγνύμενα κυκᾶταί τε καὶ τὸ δεδεγμένον ἅπαν τῆς ψυχῆς στροβεῖ χωρίον δίναις ἐπαλλήλοις.
