εἰς γὰρ τὸν ὁρῶντα Ἰσραὴλ μεταχαράττεται τὸ μαθήσεως καὶ διδασκαλίας νόμισμα, οὗπερ ἐπώνυμος ἦν Ἰακώβ, δι’ οὗ καὶ τὸ ὁρᾶν γίνεται φῶς τὸ θεῖον, ἀδιαφοροῦν ἐπιστήμης, ἣ τὸ τῆς ψυχῆς διοίγνυσιν ὄμμα καὶ πρὸς τὰς ὤτων τηλαυγεστέρας καὶ ἀριδηλοτέρας ἄγει καταλήψεις. ὥσπερ γὰρ διὰ μουσικῆς τὰ κατὰ μουσικὴν καὶ διὰ πάσης τέχνης τὰ ἐν ἑκάστῃ καταλαμβάνεται, οὕτω καὶ διὰ σοφίας τὸ σοφὸν θεωρεῖται.
