τινος χρόνου γενόμενον καὶ μὴ διαιωνίζοντα λέγειν οὐ θεμιτόν. ἀλλὰ γὰρ ἔνιοι περὶ τὰς κρίσεις ἀπονοίᾳ τοσαύτῃ κέχρηνται, ὡς οὐ μόνον τὰ εἰρημένα θεοὺς νομίζειν, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἕκαστον αὐτῶν μέγιστον καὶ πρῶτον θεόν, τὸν ὄντα ὄντως ἢ οὐκ εἰδότες ἀδιδάκτῳ τῇ φύσει ἢ οὐ σπουδάζοντες μαθεῖν, ἕνεκα τοῦ μηδὲν ἔξω τῶν αἰσθητῶν ἀόρατον καὶ νοητὸν αἴτιον ὑπολαμβάνειν εἶναι, καίτοι σαφεστάτης ἐγγὺς παρακειμένης πίστεως.
