λέγεται δὲ θεοῦ πνεῦμα καθ’ ἕνα μὲν τρόπον ὁ ῥέων ἀὴρ ἀπὸ γῆς, τρίτον στοιχεῖον ἐποχούμενον ὕδατι — παρό φησιν ἐν τῇ κοσμοποιίᾳ· „πνεῦμα θεοῦ ἐπεφέρετο ἐπάνω τοῦ ὕδατος“ (Gen. 1,2), ἐπειδήπερ ἐξαιρόμενος ὁ ἀὴρ κοῦφος ὢν ἄνω φέρεται ὕδατι βάσει χρώμενος —, καθ’ ἕτερον δὲ τρόπον ἡ ἀκήρατος ἐπιστήμη, ἧς πᾶς ὁ σοφὸς εἰκότως μετέχει.
