Ταῦτα μὲν ἀναγκαίως περὶ σεμνότητος, ἣν ἔχει τὸ διάγραμμα ἢ πλινθίον ἢ ὅ τι χρὴ καλεῖν, προειρήσθω· τοσαύτας ἰδέας καὶ ἔτι πλείους ἑβδομὰς ἐν ἀσωμάτοις καὶ νοητοῖς ἐπιδείκνυται. διατείνει δ’ αὐτῆς ἡ φύσις καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ὁρατὴν ἅπασαν οὐσίαν, οὐρανὸν καὶ γῆν, τὰ πέρατα τοῦ παντός, φθάσασα. τί γὰρ οὐ φιλέβδομον τῶν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ μέρος, ἔρωτι καὶ πόθῳ δαμασθὲν ἑβδομάδος;
